Apologies if this has already been raised and answered, but couldn't find anything on searching this thread.

I'm sure this isn't UA's biggest concern at the moment; I'm trying to book a *A award redemption using US Airways miles, and the US Airways agents can apparently see availability for the flights I'd like to book (UA910 and UA895 in First on 3rd August) but can't confirm the reservation. The US agents tell me it is an issue with the UA system - any ideas on this and when it might be back up and running?

I can keep calling US to check, but thought there might be a quicker way to find out when things change.

Cheers,
Michael
