The question we had was would it not have been a nice gesture to message ahead that the crew would be timing out so that the GA can begin the rebooking sooner?
I take it that the situations are so fluid that they don't know if no one will be available. The 80-90s gates in DEN seem to have a pick-up system akin to the choosing teams on during recess. In ORD, I've had the GA make comments about them having to go down and try to find a 757 pilot, like the are looking for a caddy for the Dhali Lama.
