True story, I was flying MCI-MDW-ISP one May, last flights of the day and due to thunderstorms, flights into MDW were being delayed but 4 of us were advised to go anyway since the connecting fight was likely to delayed as well. Well, the connecting plane left without me and I was stranded!
Exactly one week later, same flights, my connecting flight was held over an hour to allow 4 connecting passengers to make the MDW-ISP leg.
