Thanks for taking it the right way - I nearly deleted the post.

I hate critisizing colleagues, and don't really think I have before on this site.

But it's not a way I could ever practice, I value my health and sanity too much!

This true.
However, if the thetare starts late, or the flight leaves late, then
you would expect compensation.
You can't have it both ways....
