They seem to never be on the same plane. There are always at least a couple options and arriving late means either the flight that lands earlier is booked/has left, or you're too hurried and frazzled to ask the right questions that will get you on the earliest arriving flight.

Plus, as Jesse said, not having to rush, having time to sit in the airport, being able to request the exit-row seat, and generally conserving your energy is probably reward enough.
