Which perhaps you could admit is different than having multiple patients expecting to see you and depending on you for their health needs.  When I've worked in an office, it was usually not a big deal if I missed one random day.  When I worked as a technical trainer, I had people whose companies had pause literally thousands of dollars to hear my presentations.  I would not have accepted being bumped if it meant missing a day of training clients.  Much like the doctor who refused to accept being bumped when he had people counting on his presence the next day.   It's great that your life is flexible enough that being delayed 24 hours does not create a hardship for others, but that is not the case for every traveler. [/quote]

Then fly the day before, if it's that important you be there as planned. What if there was bad weather in Chicago or Louisville? The doctor wouldn't make it in time to see his patients either. That happened in Atlanta last week -- 3,000 flights cancelled due to thuderstorms. In fact, you're a lot more likely to not arrive on time due to weather, mechanical issues, late arrival of incoming aircraft than being kicked off an overbooked flight. [/quote]
