Sorry about the confusion. If its below the Mason-Dixon, I just say south. East to me is where all those terrible yankees live

I was on United with one of the small regional/commuter jets. This happened over a year ago in this instance, and I've had 2 other instances since that time where the same thing happened. I wasn't then, and am not now, mad about the flight delays or cancellations. I understand the reasons, and I understand about the spacing.
The only thing that irritated me was that you'd get your hopes up when they posted you flight or made announcements that our plane had landed and would be departing soon. Then, they would turn around and delay it again.
I am probably in the minority on this as evidence by all the people fussing, cussing, and screaming at the gate agents, but I would rather the flight just show delayed until the airline is 100% sure that my flight is leaving and then announce that they are ready to start boarding.
