I work at an airport, and I can tell you that the airlines are going to fight as hard as they can to get each case labeled as an exception. They'll be asking air traffic control to keep the planes away from the gates as long as they can. It's about profits and nothing else. They really don't care about the passengers.
I feel sorry for people who have to wait that long before the flight even begins. It's wrong, but this isn't going to change anything. The new rules don't even take effect until April in any event.
