Ok Pinocccio, here is the thing.
you're currently a pilot (supposedly) and you're here now looking for a place to vent because of what happened to your parents, which doesn't seem like much happened... but you're a pilot! When you use the words
for whatever reason to the cancellation of their flight, you lose any cred you might hope to gain because you're now admitting that you're actively a pilot on a major u.s. carrier (Hey where's his label?) and you don't know what's going on. That's scary! You should, literally, have the resources at your finger tips to follow your parents flight and should have known about the change well before hand. Did you simply book the tickets and walk away? You say your parents, or your mom, is gravely ill, but you never thought to check on their flight? in any way shape or form? I'm just going by your words:

By the time we found out ourselves, the flights that were through Detroit (and more realistic for my parents) were already booked to capacity (or more) and there were no available seats together anymore.

I'm sorry but I don't believe that you're a pilot, of 22 years or any years, because right now you're acting like a new traveler. If you're a pilot then you allowed this to happen rather than knowing about it before hand. I think you're just "someone" whom this happened to and using the pilot story as a way to gain some credibility, but your inactions tell a different story. If you were a pilot you would know way more about that flight before your parents even left the house. You should know how the airline industry works, know about schedule changes, flight cancellations, delays, air traffic, etc. I'm a frequent flyer and I have my internet resources, but you're a pilot!!!! This should be nothing new to you, but yet here you are acting as though "OMG I can't believe this just happened to me".
The purpose for this site for people to complain about their issues with the airline industry, yes venting their fustrations they might have. However you're currently the airline industry, and your complaining about something that you should be more than knowledgeable about. I'm not saying airline employees can't complain, but complaining about something that isn't really new to them? uhmmmm.....
