    Thought he opened it mid flight until I read the article. Changes the whole perspective when you take time and read something.

      You also generally can’t open the wing in flight due to pressurization. At lower altitudes, where maybe they could open the door, they’d be going fast enough that there’s no way they could stay on the wing.

    If there was a maintenance issue, why did they sit on the tarmac for over 3 hours instead of returning to the gate? If they weren’t able to taxi then get a damn tug.

    No excuse to leave passengers sitting on the tarmac for over 3 hours with no air or water. In fact in the US it’s illegal, not sure what Mexico’s laws are.

    Sounds like Aeromexico needs to review their policies that allowed this to happen.
