I had the same thing as the OP happen to me with United at one such small airport.
Right. I'd much rather miss an occasional flight than sit in a boring small-city airport for an extra 15-30 minutes every time.
It's not cheating to board early. It's only cheating if pax are off loaded before T-15 and they show up. I share the same experience at out stations, btw, ergo I arrive at T-30.
T-15 isn't the boarding time. It's the last opportunity to board. Claiming its your boarding time is pure DYKWIA.
