Update- so after one hour wait I went back upstairs to see that they had closed the ropes to d gate connections- so there was 30 of us in this holding area.

no one knew when the bus would show up. A Airport person showed up and got on the radio talking about how we got left behind and was going to have to take us through the concourse.

finally a bus showed up few minutes after he was on the phone.

lots of missed connections from that...
