IMO, it's suckier to have one's flight delayed.
OT, but in norther Manitoba in cold weather (under -20 F) we were boarded on a dark, crewless 737-200QC on the ramp (no jetway, just boarding ladder and open door); we sat there in our parkas, exhaling vapor streams into a very cold cabin until the crew and power cart came. It would have never happened on a U.S. airline not operating under a charter license, but we were happy to be departing.
