The mistake fare I was referring to was this one:

Since it was a MCO-OGG fare, I'm sure nobody on these delayed flights was 'on it'. My mistake for not researching before posting.

Good to know,
LAX Gambit. Would it be possible for you to share what carriers ATA will and won't reaccomodate on? Would be good info for us to have in the event we're on a long ATA delay.

Did

SOP at many airlines.
Lastly, thank you for contributing. It's always great to hear a bit of insider info from airline employees.
