Anything F9 did was a courtesy beyond what was required and OP's husband ought to be grateful. I say this as one who is far from an F9 fan and avoids it when there is an alternative.
This is not true he was absolutely there bthere 1215 as he called me on the phone and I called frontiere at 1203. Do they not close the gate prior to 1215? I am trying to find an actual way to find the exact time they boarded and closed the gate. F9 told me they boarded and closed the gate at 1145.
