ATLANTA - The meeting among airline executives, government figures and airport officials that was supposed to happen Tuesday morning has been rescheduled for Wednesday. <br>
<br>
The general manager of Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport - Ben DeCosta - called for the meeting to discuss ways to prevent future snow-related backups.<br>
<br>
Last week's snow storm kept some passengers waiting inside grounded planes for up to ten hours. <br>
<br>
Lines for de-icing - which usually takes 15 minutes per plane - were up to 20 planes long. <br>
<br>
DeCosta said Friday that sitting on a plan for hours is ``not tolerable.''
