I can understand if the van is for hire.

Plenty of reasons for waiting, you obviously possess a limited mental reasoning as to why.
No use in explaining, I'll just laugh with the FA's while discussing your ilk's leadership skills on the next flights.
Don't feel bad, plenty of small shoes for your type to fill.
("Back on topic"...……..Priceless)
Congrats "Tool of the Day" Mr Floobs

In 27 years in the airline business, in the above situation, I’ve NEVER ditched a cabin crew heading to the same hotel because I couldn’t wait the extra 7-10 minutes.
I’ll also say this: if a captain ever suggested this, I’d politely tell him that I’m waiting, and I’d wave him goodby as he left to take the van to the hotel, alone.

THIS!!!
The only excuses for ditching the crew are staying at a different hotel, being on short rest or if you take your own transportation to the hotel.
