> [@Turek](#): > > An MSNOW reporter at Jacksonville International Airport was told by people getting off flights that the pilots said there was going to be at least a 7 hour delay. Anyone able to get off of a flight is lucky. A quick look at flightradar24 shows hundreds of planes lined up on taxiways at LAX, ORD, and DFW. It would suck if you happened to be on one of those planes. And when the stop is lifted, I imagine chaos later on when all these flights finally do arrive at their destination and have to wait for open gates. I’d also imagine that flight crews may hit time limits and not be able to fly. @LSLGuy would know about that. ---

This is exactly what I’m wondering, 2 hours later. ---

Well, yeah, eventually. (Iowa’s governor soon-to-be-emerita got a lot of heat for saying that, in the context of health care issues.) ---

If there’s a long enough stop, I would suppose passengers would have to get off the old fashioned way. Stairs and a bus to the terminal. ---

My flight from MCO to ORD was delayed several times and eventually cancelled. No hotels available. Have luggage, semi comfy chair and USB power. Brian ---

Might have been lifted but a quick look at planefinder and it looks like outbound International flights are starting to move but not much US-only traffic yet. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/breaking-news-faa-orders-aviation-stop-at-all-airports-nov-13-2026/1034984.md?page=1)
