I'd agree too. Entire set of flights canceled in December from New York's Laguardia, got automatically rebooked to the first flight the following day. After enjoying a wonderful evening sleeping on the chairs in LGA, got to sleep some more on the plane for a few hours while the plane was deicing. Landed at MSP a few hours late, but I called as soon as we touched down, got rebooked, put in FC (back then, agents could do that for you!), and still managed to get the SRP with my other "automatically rebooked" ticket (in Y)
