My travel in 2006 will probably be similar to 2005: spend miles on UA, spend $$$ on Song nonstops.
The monitors are not always accurate so you can't count on that. Plus, given that you came in on Ted and left out of G, a good agent could realize that even if you arrived 15 min before your HPN flight departed, no way could you make it to the G "Terminal" (used lightly) in 5 min- if everything went perfectly, it would have taken you at least 9 or 10. And, if you were the only passengers missing and the doors close at 10 min before departure, they could easily see that you would be misconnecting and dispatch the flight.
