@ed8890 – there isn’t strictly an obligation for BA to rebook you on the next available flight automatically and anyway it sounds as though that flight that your daughter rebooked herself on was full in PE. The AA flight might have been the next available in PE. Basically the system will try to rebook people but in this sort of case there are probably a couple of hundred+ people to re accommodate, so there are unlikely to be sufficient seats to rebook everyone on the next flight. Some of the automated rebooking choices will work for people and others won’t.
