You are correct but remember you may not get out in any kind of timely manner to permit business to be done. What I do is maximize my time, since I bill by the hour I move onto something else. There are always going to be those traveling that have to get there by any or all means possible. Generally, they are the people that must perform a action that then permits other things to occur. I used to be that position at one time so I understand.

I just know that I for one do not want to be captive in a aircraft either waiting for a gate or waiting to depart for hours on end. I have been there already and do not want to do it again.
