It's good to be retired and flexible. I took a redeye into Newark yesterday arriving at 8am but when I got there my next flight to Pitts got cancelled so I was rebooked for a 1:40pm flight. I was on standby for a 10am flight but so were 20+ other people. It was very entertaining watching people on standby trying to talk their way into getting higher on the standby list. And for some people their story worked. I didn't get on the 10am flight but had a seat for the 1:40 so I was good. Right before boarding on the 1:40 flight they asked for 3 volunteers to give up their seat for a a $500 travel voucher. Hell ya! So I was rebooked for a 6:20 flight instead. In addition to the travel voucher the ticket counter lady gave me two $7 meal vouchers and upgraded me to 1st class on the 6:20 flight. When the 6:20 flight was boarding I saw people from the original cancelled flight on board who finally made it onto a flight. I suspect I was the only one who got a voucher though.
I saw a few pissed off people during my 8 hours in Newark Airport yesterday but I wasn't one of them.
