And now, after 23 minutes, we just pulled up to the gate.

So... how long have you been ignored by a ramp crew?
About 20 minutes in SFO from DEN. The captain told us that this was a new thing at UA. I.e., another change you will like. That flight, like yours, was a three digit number, ergo an sUA crew in both cases who are not used to the CO way.
