Well, next time I'm traveling I'll be sure to inquire about my "bar vouchers". Probably the airlines need a genius to tell them that if they want passengers to stay around at the gate during a delay, they should give out vouchers redeemable only at a concession near to that gate.

What if you're at a gate where there are no concessions nearby? What if you're at a gate with a Mcdonalds, but you only eat kosher? What about people with strict diets? What if you're only concession is a bar, really wouldn't wanna bring children and babies, would you? What if you're near a BBQ place and you're a strict Vegetarian? See why you can't be specific?

It always amuses me that gate agents often use the "everyone else" heard the announcement as if they are suggesting that the person was lying. If they heard the announcement, do you think they deliberately missed the flight; decided to ignore it or had cooked up some dastardly scheme to make Delta look bad?

It amuses everyone Jim, but it wasn't funny when it happened to me. However I didn't push blame on anyone because I was on the phone, forgot the time and thinking "well they did say estimate time was such and such", so I went back at that time and wouldn't ya know? Gone! No one is saying that people miss their flight on purpose, but it happens and just like we expect the airlines to keep us posted on delays, why is it difficult for us to check back at the gate for the updates? I made the mistake once, hasn't happened again.
