Seems I had another opportunity this morning.

The DTW-IND was oversold, so I inquired about a bump. Unfortunately, they said the soonest they could get me there was about 8:30 tonight. I don't mind being a couple hours late for work, but that's ridiculous.

So, I just sort of shook my head and boarded the flight at the regular time.

A few minutes ago, I got a flight status email from NW, telling me the flight was leaving on time, and I could expect to arrive in IND about 8:30. I was booked (in First) -- didn't they notice I had already left? After all, they scanned my BP and nothing beeped.

Well, it's a little bit funny, but now I wonder what's going to happen with my account?
