Thanks, I didn't know this part of it, which makes some of the other parts of this make more sense.

OAK is zeroed out on the two remaining flights for 19/1 - probably because the late flight is cancelled.
The only issue is I can't recall if the inbound can be left untouched, or if that needs current availability.
Now that I've been apparently bumped from SEA-PDX (to a later flight) do you think it's possible to use this to try and get the SEA-OAK tonight and get my PDX-SFO cancelled? I don't know if this is even possible or if I'm just dreaming. I don't think SEA-OAK is codeshared with BA, but neither is the one they rebooked me onto.
