Oh and if there was room to tell the story of the flight that I ended up taking a bump on later that night. What a scene.

One thing I've noticed not helping them (not to vouch for them) is dispatch has a habit of changing many posted departure times to be 5 minutes *earlier* than scheduled for JFK flights.

The agents appear to be dinged if they don't hit this more aggressive target. Why do they do that?
