I wouldn't be so sure in the case of other AAirlines. I'm sure the GA just wanted to get my friend's flight out on time and neglected to tell the captain or ops there were late inbound connections. It's happened to me on QX before, so I know how the GAs play the game.

At least the plane was there....
