Doesn't a flight need both passengers & crew to depart? If they're delayed, aren't any passengers connecting off the same flight also delayed?

Once in a while it's OK for both passengers & crew to jump the line, but there are more than a few crew that do it routinely, apparently because they don't want to waste their precious time. Well, hello, what does that say about their attitude to the poor punters who pay their salary?
