Have you ever heard of Rule 240? I hadn't until today but basically if your flight is canceled for any reason other than weather you can ask the ticket agent about rule 240 which requires them to schedule you on another flight, even on another airline if necessary, to get you where you are going. It's an old rule and some things have changed but it still exists.
Check out this post on the Today Show Blog for more info. The article is really long but the first half explains most of the rules around it.
