[QUOTE=NJTravelers]At EWR the flight was late, due to weather, no biggie.QUOTE]

Didn't you just answer your own question? Sorry man...life could be a lot worse then not being allowed to board ahead of an already delayed flight. I've seen it a hundred times, and actually appreciate the fact that they do it so everyone can get home earlier. No reason to delay a 2 hr flight even more. Plus if you were in 2D shouldn't you have boarded with FC??? Just seems a little pompous to me..JMOT
