This would free up travelers to fly on a competitor's plane for their return trip, or rent a car or take a train.

I had a flight from Costa Rica to San Diego diverted to Miami overnight, then to South Carolina. This after we'd already had a 24-hour delay on our trip to Costa Rica, then more than 24 hours delay coming home.

A recent flight from Montana to San Diego got cancelled and I had to fly to Denver, stay overnight, then come home the next day. We were stuck with one airline. It would have been nice to catch another flight out on a competitor.
