I spent nearly four hours on the phone with UA to no avail...on the day of the flight it was still not ticketed so I purchased a ticket on B6 (nice flight with an empty seat next to me...and it ticketed immediately for less than half the fare of UA) I disputed the UA charge with Chase...the supervisor I spoke to said they are getting 100s of calls per day due to problems with UA ticketing...and added my dispute to the list. Less than a week later Chase sent me an e-mail and snail mail that the UA charge had been permanently removed! Still nothing from UA who promised a response within 5 working days...twelve days ago!!

Goalie...maybe you should do what I have done and start giving chocolate (tootsie pops in your case) to AA staff or DL staff or B6staff...and staying as far away from the CF (Air Force terminology) that UA has become. It is not the UA you and I once knew and respected...and who respected us!
