It is a no win situation. If it were the other way around you, or someone else would be complaining that "they knew that there was a late arriving flight with connecting passengers on it , why could'nt they hold it??" I don't know what time your flight was. Perhaps it was the last flight of the day, so that particular aircraft did not have to fly any longer that day/night. It is unfortunate that people missed engagements. Hopefully those that missd connections were assisted. Like i said , it is a no win situation. They should have at least given xtra peanuts
