We flew from Tampa to charlotte no, then charlotte nc to Charlottesville va. Our flight was delayed in Tampa. Our connection was tight less than 45 minutes. We landed and walked very quickly from terminal c to terminal e. We arrived at the gate 21e 11 minutes before take off. Then very rude American gate lady, gave our seats to stand by folks right in front of us and loaded our seat assignments into the plane. Unacceptable. We were there, 10 minutes before, and she was flat out rude.
