Don't you think there would be a riot ?
Actually, I mentioned later that I pity the GAs, too. Usually the only information they have is whatever comes up on their screen. Whatever is going on gets decided higher up.
As for a 'riot', I don't agree. What they would get is a bunch of people demanding confirmed alternative transportation. Which is probably what UA is trying to avoid in the first place.
