So this crew member should have arrived the airport promptly. I don't know, if it was fault of the mentioned crew member or dispatcher but it should be the end of the professional carrier of this person.
There was also no relief crew. This is known as a fatal error. If I made such mistake, my professional carrier would be over.
Actually, the initial 25 min delay was caused by a missing cabin crew member (not the captain as you incorrectly suggest), who had to come in from another flight. Here is the FLIFO with the full information:
And if you look little more detailed, you did not miss your connection because of this initial delay, but rather because of the 43-minute taxi time that ensued. If you look the the historical performance of this same flight, you will see that the departure from the gate was not all that much later than normal. And with a 33-minute, pretty normal flying time, you would likely have made your connection just fine, if it were not for the 43-minute taxi, related to ATC restrictions.
So rather than randomly taking out your anger on the airline, you may have considered informing yourself just a little better. Maybe a rant towards air traffic control restrictions would have been in order?
