Here are the pertinent sections from the CoC. They will force you into a F seat if the reason for the delay is their fault, but not if it is Force Majeure, which weather is included in.
RULE 24 FLIGHT DELAYS/CANCELLATIONS/AIRCRAFT CHANGES (revised December 7, 2007)
A) General
1) U.S.A. Origin Flights - Where the CO flights originate in the U.S.A., the provisions of this Rule apply to a Passenger who has a Ticket and a confirmed reservation on a flight that incurs a Change in Schedule, Force
Majeure Event or a Schedule Irregularity.
...
4) Force Majeure Event – any of the following situations:
a) Any condition beyond CO’s control including, but not limited to, meteorological conditions, acts of God, riots, terrorist activities, civil commotions, embargoes, wars, hostilities, disturbances, or unsettled international conditions, either actual, threatened or reported, or any delay, demand, circumstances, or requirement due directly or indirectly to such condition;
...
D) Force Majeure Event - In the event of a Force Majeure Event, CO without notice, may cancel, terminate, divert, postpone, or delay any flight, right of carriage or reservations (whether or not confirmed) and determine if any
departure or landing should be made, without any liability on the part of CO. CO may reschedule passenger on another available CO flight or refund any unused portions of the ticket in the form of a travel certificate.
The assumption that your loyalty deserves an F seat when you only paid for Y is pretty entertaining.
