Yeah - I did say due to circumstances (somewhat) beyond my control in the OP; long story shortened to:
- yearly performance review being delayed past original meeting time.
- yearly performance review taking longer than necessary (went well, but a lot of time agreeing with my boss)
- resultant delay in leaving putting me into rush hour traffic.
I'm not blaming AC for closing the flight, or for not putting me on another one; these are the consequences of arriving late and the fare bucket that I purchased.
What led to the declaration in the title of the post is the stringing me along for an hour when AC had no intention whatsoever of putting me on another flight, which - to employ the old cliché - added insult to injury.
