Oh, and that 7am flight finally took off...at 11pm. So be happy you weren't sitting around at the airport for 16 hours! :P
Just remember though that because he "volunteered" to downgrade, ORC isn't a guarantee and many agents will not want to grant the request. That's when you HUCA until you get both original routing credit and double EQMs
