Hey, I was flying International one time and the flight was delayed, so I got 250 extra FF points.
Exactly one person said that, and I'd say that SH's perspective on things is not exactly what I would call "mainstream" for the folks around here.God, it just seems like this board is made up of too many AmPoligist.
"2:45 is not that bad of a delay " R U Kidding me? I'd be livid.
Clearly, the point of my posts continues to sail over your head.Clearly, if commuting on Amtrak to work from, say, Poughkeepsie to NY Penn (Empire service), if work starts at 9, and the train is scheduled to get you in at 8:30, and to do that you leave POU at say 7:30... well, clearly even leaving at 4:30 you're "only" leaving 3 hours for something to go wrong. Horrors!!!!
I have seen no one propose that they refund the theater tickets. It's clear that Amtrak is not liable for incidental losses such as that, and we all recognize that.Clearly, the point of my posts continues to sail over your head.Clearly, if commuting on Amtrak to work from, say, Poughkeepsie to NY Penn (Empire service), if work starts at 9, and the train is scheduled to get you in at 8:30, and to do that you leave POU at say 7:30... well, clearly even leaving at 4:30 you're "only" leaving 3 hours for something to go wrong.

Delays like this are rare.
If you're late for work because of the train having excessive delays on such a rare occasion, it shouldn't be that big a deal. It wasn't when I was commuting on the NEC.
If you're dropping over $500 on theater tickets for one night, maybe you should add a little more slack in your schedule.
Why is that impossible for you to comprehend?
