No, no glitch, this is the only way to apparently get the schedule information as UM hasn't properly loaded their schedules into all GDSs. Our primary GDS doesn't have the UM schedule information that far in advance, however another one we have access to does. As such, we can choose to access UM Flight Availability from a different GDS then normal, however to do that you have to specify UM as the airline so the system knows what you're looking for so it can choose the correct GDS automatically.

When UM properly loads their availability/schedules into all GDSs, then it will show up when no airline or more then one airline is specified.

There you go. We have engineered EF to work around such issues where possible.
