Yeah, that 'note in the itinerary' is about as helpful as the FA announcement when your incoming is delayed, connections are desperately tight, late at night, FA says: "The connecting flight GAs know you're on this flight and this flight has been delayed. However, it is not our policy to hold flights for delayed pax". Yikes, that was 'helpful'!
