More UAL cancellations

We were due to fly from OGG - ORD via LAX tonight at 8:45pm. Made the call yesterday to bail out last night on the 9:15pm via SFO and got a waiver even before it was on the UAL web site. Good call, as UAL's web site now shows these flights as cancelled for 29-JUL (all times HST): (apologies for any errors - I didn't sleep a wink due to the rebooking putting me in row 29 middles on the way home - ugh !) The flights out and back were packed - will make an interesting recovery period.

UA 1191 12:50pm OGG LAX Cancelled

UA 391 2:41pm OGG LAX Cancelled

UA 1157 8:45pm OGG LAX Cancelled

UA 671 10:30pm OGG LAX Cancelled

UA 1726 9:15pm OGG SFO Cancelled

I'm guessing due to the length of the flight and the uncertainty in the area in terms of backup landing sites they have to be very conservative ? As of now the storm has weekend, but it hasn't really hit Maui yet.
