And to the dispatcher posting saying "it wasn't gate staff's fault" well... i know it was their fault, you know it was their fault so save it pal
I assume this was aimed at me, however if you re-read my post, i think you will find I said nothing about it not being their fault. I said that they were busy and made a mistake.
I am in no doubt that it was their fault. However, as has been said, it is a chain of events because the cabin crew missed it too.
