I don't think we disagree on this - I simply believe they'd need to post an awful lot more than a 1-hour delay before they're willing to declare IRROPS in advance sufficient to re-ticket a non-status passenger booked in Basic, where they might be more proactive in addressing the same problem for a SEMM.
