Your tone is off putting just like the thread you replied in TravelBuzz.

He was GM and traveled in Y.
UA offered him $800 check.
So.....for international F......$800 is really low....

You don't think that those miles are worth money?? All mileage departments of all airlines generate a substantial amount of income for all major airlines. CX earns out of an AA mileage ticket so why shouldn't they compensate if there is a problem???

Just an update. We did end up on the next flight out in F. We arrived at the airport fairly early, and had to wait for about 4-5 hours until we finally got our boarding passes 40 mins before departure.
If we were confirmed on that flight when we were IDB'ed, then it wouldn't be so stressful, but being stuck at the airport all morning and not knowing whether we would actually get on was quite exhausting....

I would absolutely complain about the entire experience and see what CX is prepared to do to for you, in addition to the $800 which I would now consider a paltry $ buy-off.
