If the GA screwed up when she was put back on the original flight but not the connecting flight. And in the end she was forced to fly the later connecting flight I would ask for the original VDB as compensation. I think that is fair because Delta used her seat on the original connecting flight and in the end she did get to her
final destination as if she had volunteered all the way through.
