Further more, why do you have to check in at some computer when you start a trip but they allow you to just go to your gate while you are in the middle of the trip. They tell you to be there 45 minutes early and we are. Just makes no sense really. Just do away with the whole computer check in thing and treat people like grown ups. If you can't be trusted to be there an hour before your trip starts then why hire a person?
