As I said before, you should be able to do anything you want during an involuntary reroute. I remember once my DTW-LGA on NW was cancelled and I asked for a reroute to Binghamton or Syracuse (closer to my actual destination...), and they gladly accommodated me. Maybe the fact LGA was sold out for the next day or so helped my case.</font>
I've had a similar experience. Weather delays at BOS meant that my connection to CLT-ATL was blown and the remaining flight to ATL was after the last shuttle back to CHA had left. They put me on standby for CLT-CHA (after first screwing up and trying to send me to CHO), and I cleared easily.
