DL doesn't have an army of agents sitting around each airport, waiting for planes to have emergency landings so they can re-book everyone in record time.

The next flight was four hours later, so what difference would it have made had you waited in the long line? (besides fatigue, which is understandable)

Considering how many hours the crew flies, and the fact that they were in tears on the next flight, I am appalled that you actually have the nerve to complain about the performance of the ground employees. You clearly have no idea how lucky you are your whiny butt didn't crash into a field.

If the airport employees were rude, that would be one thing (rudeness should be reported, emergency landing or no emergency landing). But they weren't rude. They failed to offer fistfuls of cash and a CRC pass to everyone (imagine how crowded the CRC would have been), and that's, in your words, Good grief!
