I know that you Bob were voicing the complaints of passengers (and how ironic)

I'm pretty certain that no passengers would be complaining. Because airlines nowadays rarely give out food vouchers for 2 and 3 hour delays.

As an airline rep, I'm giving out $8 food vouchers at the start of the delay with instructions not to go further than the nearest food vendor and to return to the boarding area. Why would they complain? They are going to love me just for getting the vouchers at all. So when the aircraft needs to leave, I make a few boarding announcements, then take off. If 5 passengers reach late after I've warned them that the flight can take off any time, they have themselves to blame. When I say no vouchers for them, I meant the $500 vouchers for being left behind. But I'm saving the airline these because having alerted eveyone of the possibility of the flight being brought forward, everyone will be back at the gate in time, and in any event the airline won't be liable. That's why both airline and passengers will love me. That's including you because you will bring your delicious bistro meal back to the gate to have it there. You don't have to worry about being left behind, because you're right there. If I suddenly say the flight's ready for boarding, you wrap up your meal and finish it on the plane.
