Stupid airlines

tahnanI've complained before about how much I hate the fact that airlines won't let you change your itinerary. And, OK, fine, Cazique raised good points as to why that's so.
But it still pisses me off that I can give them several hundred dollars, and they can still call me at 8:15 to say "Your 1:00 flight is cancelled." And, let me stress, nothing else; so it becomes my obligation to call them to find out that I've been rescheduled for 8:40 tonight, and then to ask about other flight options (e.g., 4:00pm; why would they think I'd prefer 8:40?).
