Two items caught my eye today that seem like encouraging steps in the right direction.

From the Airline Biz blog, – a note about Continental Airlines saying they’d make it a policy to let passengers deplane if they’d been stuck on an airplane for more than three hours.

And from the Chicago Tribune: an article about how United and other airlines are (finally? once again?) paying attention to cleaning their airplanes more often.
