Someone has to drive the jetway to the plane, correct? And open the terminal door? That person is supposed to stay at the gate until after the flight has completely finished de-planing, I believe... not saying that's always the case, but I'm assuming that they have to make sure everyone leaves the plane, close the door, etc.
