Well this was apparently an unusual situation. Everyone has been waiting politely for hours, quite a few passengers and staff seemed relieved to have someone speak up and demand some relief, and when the flight left around the time of their final estimated delay it was calm and full of the same people I’d seen for hours preceding. A lot of the folks around me seemed to resonate with “you can’t hold us here indefinitely” and the staff response was very agreeable. I don’t like that I expressed it angrily, but I don’t think anyone in this scenario took it as vinegar, just saying what many people had already been thinking for hours already.
