If you tell them you were suppose to fly the week of Sept 11, which would have given you enough miles, it is hard to believe that they wouldn't be sympathetic.

I think it's in poor taste and rather immoral to use 9-11 for one's own gain. There are enough individuals and companies doing it - and yes, it can be speculated the airlines tried to do it with the bailout. But, please. Let's not encourage each other to "make up" sob stories around the tragedies for our own benefit.
