I was scheduled to fly out of Charlotte tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. I got a call tonight at about 6:30 telling me that the flight had been cancelled due to mech problems. Never mind the fact that I would think in 13 hours they could get another plane the whopping 1 1/4 hours to Charlotte...it just makes me mad.

So I called Premier reservations and got moved to a USAir flight that gets me to my final destination five hours later. I did have other options that got me there only 2.5 hours later, but I'm also preferred on USAir so thought I would maximize my miles.

My question is am I entitled to anything else. I asked about miles on both the United flight and the USAir flight and the reservationist said that only was the case for Delta...which tells me she doesn't know what she's talking about. I would have received bonus miles on United obviously and am in danger of falling short of achieving status.

Any ideas out there in FFT land? Please help!
