I was in Costa Rica once and Continental cancelled my reservation back to Houston where I was connecting with another flight going to Anchorage.

It took a few phone calls but Continental gave me another reservation, in first class this time, on American.

A week later I received an envelope with several vouchers from Continental to be used on their flights. I gave them all away.

The only reason I became a pilot was just in case the flight attendant comes on the PA asking if anyone on board is a pilot and hasn't eaten the fish dinner....

But that gets you to the IFR written questions on VOR nav...

(the joke is that I have always called them "the pilot ate the fish" questions because the rest of us always know where we are and don't need a stupid fixed CDI presentation to tell us anything)

KPSM? Only Allegiant there, you're wasting time calling AA (although I guess Allegiant Airlines is also AA).

And you only 'Fly the Friendly Skies, of United'.

Edit: Never mind, I think you meant KMSP, 7am tomorrow. All flights full until late afternoon, but if you want to spend the day in the airport, you could try to standby. Even the connections through ORD are booked until late afternoon.
