to be honest i can understand why you had so many problems
last flight of the day delayed to 3 30 no one is gonna want to work at those hours and most likely there is a shut off time on the check in comps
did you check in online prior?
personally when its the last flight out and even if it does say delayed (at any time of day) i would still go to the airport just in case the delay is shortened or they do take off on time, than people who take into account the delay will be complaining that they left without them that it is the airlines fault and they should be compensated for being late
im not defending AF as their customer service is not upto par, but it may have been an computer time limit issue where they cannot get you on that flight due to the limitations
3 hours of argueing is too long and if it is true that they couldnt have done anything (as i believe the system is different for getting tickets on a different flight than checking in) than you should have taken their word and be more understanding and taken the loss and made sure that you had a confirmed ticket for the next flight, as 3 hours is way to long to be argueing, as it sounds it seems that you were the only one there as they wouldnt hold the line up for so long otherwise
