Would love to nonrev a flight in the first couple days from IAH, but have a feeling I'd be bumped by UA employees doing the same thing. Will watch the loads over the next couple months.

I don't think you'd be able to get on these as an OAL NRSA for a few days . I would NRSA it too but decided to buy a confirmed ticket for this one since it's a 787 flight.

Is anybody concerned about misconnecting on the flights we're flying on? Looking at .bomb, it looks like UA 1510 has a lovely 37% OTP, and my connection, UA 1209, has an even lovelier 29% OTP.

I'll be on UA 1553 on 11/5, doing a single-day turn to AUS.
I'll be sitting in E+, didn't feel like shelling out $600 to upgrade to F, esp. on a mid-con redeye.

Darn, I should have been paying more attention to FT! It seems all of the upgrade seats on the flight I want are taken already.

You fly same-day trip? How come? You didn't want stay in EWR for a few days.

Why would someone want to stay in EWR for a few days??
