Mal--ANY air transportation is not without drama these days, no matter the airline. My point is that if the trip is entirely booked on one carrier or on one TICKET (as I think maybe you can do with Silver--don't know), the problem becomes the airline's problem to fix and if you miss a connection, it's not good, but you shouldn't have to pay for another ticket, as one may have to do, if you book two separate tickets.
