It is episodes like this that attract and retain customers.
I have witnessed similar situations on F9 myself, and waited for a few moments while wide-eyed passengers run full-throttle for their next flight.
Those of us with time were happy to yield, and those without the time were all greatly appreciative.
I think that it's fair to say that all of us are happy to be flying with an airline that is doing everything it can to get people to their destinations on time.
