Michael wrote in message Actually, in the long run it's the right thing
to do. It creates financial consequences for the airline. It ****es off
the flight
crew, and as a result the airline has to either pay the flight crew
more for dealing with the fallout or accept less-qualified flight
crew, which will show up in the insurance rates before long.

You are severely misguided. Flightcrews have been dealing with delays since
commercial flying started in much the same way. A mean-spirited passenger
venting on us won't change anything, except that we may have that passenger
removed from the plane.
