"Arrived at JFK 50 minutes early" Dude arriving at JFK with 50 minutes to spare is not early, that is late. Getting at the airport and waiting in line to be checked in does not count for being there early. IF you are in a line of 100 people what good did it do to get there 50 minutes early? "Yes! Sir! The guy in the back there! You look like you're in a hurry, please by pass all these people"

I am sorry, usually I am on the passengers' side but this is crap. Have we forgotten 9/11? Shoe bombers? Terrorists? There is a reason why we have so much security and you have to respect that. 50 minutes is not sufficient time (at JFK...Whiteplains maybe...)

Need I go on about passengers with international itineraries..."Seriously you have like 45 seconds, can I see your passport?!" "Um uh uh it's in the car." Folks take responsibility for your own actions and own up to it. If you're late, you are the one who is late. Don't blame the airlines. I got blamed the other day because a passenger was late. I LET her check in 16 minutes prior to departure because I thought she had her stuff together and could just run to the gate. No she went out to park her car afterwards....Then I am waiting for her at TSA to basically just throw her on the plane at the last minute as we are closing the door...She had a knife in her bag. When I told her she couldn't go, who did she blame? Me.
