This is unreal. Let me summarize my past 24 hours: I was booked on last night's 10PM IAD-TPA flight. Due to bad weather at JFK I was going to misconnect, so I spent the night at JFK and got rebooked on the 6AM JFK-IAD flight and 8AM IAD-TPA flight. I overslept this morning at my…

@ bmvaughn -- I've had enough of flying. Stick me in the LH lounge instead (where I ran into an FT'er, btw).
@ Gray -- One systemwide humiliation cert.

Wow, i'm really surpprised how lenient UA is on rebooking. Not that i would, but seems like that system could really be abused.
Abuse the system? Who would do that? I don't know anyone who would abuse the system!?!?! 🙂
Finally got home. It's worth noting that there were at least 30 empty seats on my IAD-TPA flight, despite it being zeroed out beforehand. I guess some of the Europe flights arrived late.
