Passengers 'Trapped' Overnite on a Regional Jet ??

OK, maybe a 'passengers bill of rights' is needed. Here's what passengers need much MUCH MORE - CAPTAINS WHO WILL EXERCISE THEIR "CAPTAIN'S AUTHORITY!!" That may be hard to find in a Captain on a Regional Jet - most of whom are young, inexperienced, and fear for their jobs and hence careers should they do ANYTHING that would draw their company's attention to them. I submit that Captain should be FIRED for FAILURE TO USE Captain's Authority to insure the safety and well being of his/her passengers and crew (so should the First Officer). The Dispatcher responsible for that flight should also be FIRED. In all my years of flying for a major airline have I ever met another Captain or flown with a First Officer who would have allowed such a travesty to occur !!!!!! ----- THIS IS A DERELICTION OF DUTY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER not involving injury or death. ----- This is the same type of Cockpit Crew that would blindly accept an "ATC ReRoute" (without any thought of refusing) and arrive at the destination "Minimum Fuel" - needing priority to safely land, or be forced to land short of the intended destination for additional fuel !!! I CAN'T STAND THESE SPINELESS JERKS AND THAT THEY CAN HIDE BEHIND PILOT'S WINGS AND SHOULDER STRIPES.
