Good information about FlightAware, thanks. I'll have to explore that site a bit more.
Made it to MSP today on the 9:05 flight, upgraded to FC. All the stars were aligned: my bag was one of the first off, the tram was waiting for me, and the light rail arrived as I came down the elevator (I had to park at the Humphrey Terminal last Wednesday). Seat 5A to my driveway in under an hour!
Compensation was $12 in food coupons at ORF, and $16 in food coupons at ATL plus a hotel room (Courtyard). Overall, everyone was helpful, so I have no complaints on how it was handled.
I'll post if I get any bonus miles.
Cheers,
Pogopossum
