1 hour delay on the runway before take off and a tight connection the gate agents decided we would miss and closed the door early. So after running to a plane they knew was connection they wouldn't open door and I stood there watching my plane wait for 10 minutes adn take off. When this was us airways they would have called the gate to let them know or seen the manifest and held the door at least until departure. Always go direct if you can. They screw you with connections.
