well airlinesmustpay, i am not sure if you travel as frequently as you may say, i have seen many delays move up, and many times (especially in asia where monsoon season is occuring) they tell passangers to wait in the boarding/waiting room so that if there are any changes than everyone would be aware and noone would miss their flight due to "not hearing the announcement" if they decide to leave and miss the flight as it will also say final boarding on the screens, than i believe it is their fault for missing the flight since they left after hearing the announcement that they could leave at anytime

granted that i have mostly seen this in Singapore and with Singapore Airlines, and many airports and airlines based in asia are more efficient, reliable, and seem to know what they are doing to a much better and higher degree

however, there are some self-centered passengers who for whatever reason they believe that everything will evolve around them and that they can do whatever with no consequences, and dont listen and miss the flight and then complain even after announcements were made and their last name called
