If you get stuck in an out station obviously it makes it worse than the home station where their own staff is available. IATA has a comprehensive guideline for airlines to use on IROPS.
Slightly easier with e-tickets (haven't experienced a reroute to another airline in a couple of decades). Wasn't easy back in the day of paper tickets when they had to be endorsed over.
