I would have just waited for the delayed flight, but it would've gotten in to LAX too late to make a connection to SFO (the last DL flight leaves at 9:00 PM and we would've gotten in around 10:30 PM without any further delays).

With these amounts of seats "available" it's really mind boggling to me that they would rather book me on another airline all together than put me on the scheduled 10:00 AM. But I guess that's why I don't work for an airline
