Not really sure what the weather problems were but I was thinking will she get status miles for all of those miles flown? And will they count as only one segment each? Just curious
Counts as one, assuming she was never issued a new ticket and that all the IROPS shenanigans were applied to her orginally booked ticket.

If your friend is afforded those "extra AQM", then AC owes me about 50,000 AQM.
