That was the OP's situation and it had to have been maddening to be forced to sit for another two hours when seats were available on a flight right in front of him. I wonder if this was simply a training issue with the GSO agent who probably sees a connecting pax about once a year if that.
I don't think agents can do this anymore, if I'm understanding the new policy correctly.
