All I want is the ORC and I would be delighted if I got to change my return flight, but I honestly don't expect it. Will call in a few days on that. Don't want anything extra, just what I originally purchased in terms of SM and MQMs. I am GM so certainly not top tier but not a once-a-year flyer, either. Right now I am just crossing my fingers I can get out of RAP today, even if it means spending the night in SLC. Lots of DL flights tomorrow from SLC->PHX and SW and AA flights too if it came to it.
Minneapolis is moving, albeit it slowly, but they're moving.
