We got an extra days pay AND RR pay.,
And you should have. When they choose to cancel your original instead of just delay it, you get paid. I wish even the delays got paid, but we don't have delay pay. On the bad ones where it's delayed into the next day, it's always weird seeing the paperwork reflecting your flight number and the previous day's date.
