Most every airline I've jumped on has been equally accommodating. I've even had a Fed take a later flight so I could get home. I went out of my way to thank his boss a few weeks later. She was really surprised that a pilot showed up at the FSDO to thank them. Not something pilots do.....thank Feds. Lol.
