Didn't mean to disappear last night but had an emergency. I got a call at 8:30 that American Airlines had canceled my flight for today from DFW to ATL. (Extremely severe weather yesterday afternoon shutdown DFW for 3+ hours and disrupted only God knows how many flights.) I spent 2 hours on hold before getting a person who got me on the only remaining flight possible, Delta DFW-ATL at 7:35PM, arriving at ATL at close to 11:00PM.
This meant a 13 hour layover in DFW as I was flying out of College Station at 6:00AM, but nothing I could do to change that flight.
Thank God Delta put me on standby for a 9:30AM flight from DFW and I was #2 on the list. There was one open seat and the guy who was #1 on the list wasn't there when they called so I got the seat and made it to my hotel a few hours ago. Delta even managed to get my checked bag on the earlier flight, even though they told me it probably wouldn't happen. I never really liked Delta, but they just moved up big time in my book and American took a nose dive.
