I know the caller was just doing what someone told them to do but it was kind of a "who in their right mind would agree to this 'you get everything/I get nothing (since my next segment wouldn't change...not like I'd get where I was going sooner)' " offer
Although many, many, moons ago when a hurricane was bearing down on Houston and I was in Omaha I got a call from the Omaha ticket counter telling me that my flight the next day had been canceled but there was an extra section if I could get to the airport "quickly"
