Just a few things for you to consider Last weekend was the beginning of the high summer holiday period and unlike Heathrow because Gatwick traffic is predominantly Point to point the 2 terminals may well have been even busier than Heathrow ( no double counting of transfer passengers !)
That said the operator has made huge strides to improve the Gatwick

Your hearsay evidence should at least focus your thoughts a little on the pressures at Gatwick right now and never mind outside when at 7.30 am there are the more aircraft waiting to depart of of the single active runway stacked nose to tail along the parallel emergency runway and the taxiway than there are up the road !
