Sis the really the schedulers?

We had this kind of comment recently from captain as we waited for a gate at BOS. Then, because he knew it would be a long wait, he turned off the seatbelt sign & let pax use the toilets. Very helpful!

But is it really the schedulers who are most to blame? Maybe their higher-ups who have to squeeze x flights into x-1 gates? Anyway, as one post said, you would have been happy if flight was on time & gate was open. Annoying to wait, but we'd had our say.
