Jetstar 330 Broken down in Bangkok

If they let the passengers off.........
1/ They go to the bar/shops/somewhere in the terminal.
2/ Aeroplane is fixed, call passengers for boarding
3/ Passengers in bar too drunk to hear call, passengers in shop don't hear call
4/ Passengers that don't turn up, have to have baggage offloaded, could take up to two hours to find all the bags.
5/ After two hours off loading bags drunk passenger turns up, then gets upset at not going.

So...four hours of fixing then two extra hours of bag offloading and passenger finding makes six hour delay.

Thats why they don't let the passengers off for a four hour delay.
