This is the sort of thing that is going to need FAA regulations. It is cheaper to leave people waiting in the heat then to move back and let people wait at the gate.

Apparently airlines can leave you inside a plane sitting on the tarmac 3 hours for domestic flights and 4 hours for international flights. I think those numbers are ridiculously high, especially if it's 100 degrees and the plane has no AC.
