You're actually trying to convince us that the net PR gain to an airline would be better if they just blow off this hapless passenger and arrive 15 early? People don't remember being 15 early for much longer than the time it takes to get off the airport. They DO remember episodes of a company or an individual trying to "do the right thing" because it has sadly become such a rarity in our "it's all about me" society.
Hopefully you fly boxes for a living.
