Absolutely correct, and I get what you're saying. That's why I thought it was extremely accommodating for them to let someone off because they were going to miss a meeting. Had I tried the same with my "excuse" and been denied, it would have somehow ended up all over social media that Delta was the devil for holding me hostage.
It's lose-lose for DL.
