The first reaction is there is a lot of supposition and speculation leading to the conclusion. It may be the right conclusion, but it is still mostly speculation on the motivation.
Having my flight changed without overt notification is a bigger deal to me.
My guess, if the ETC is important, a post-flight email to 1Kvoice about the lack of notification will get that.
I guess I would wait to see a pattern before moving my business. One-offs are a fact of life.
