Presuming you are asking in good faith, yes, I do think that UA will continue to try to fix its too-often-screwed-up IT. There have been fixes that have happened since 3/3. It all just proceeding too slowly, but, yes, I think they are committed to doing so -- I'm just not convinced that they have enough of the right people working on it.

+1 Particularly when so many of them claim to be UA's "most loyal customers." That's not the way folks who are "loyal" behave.

As for the ones that really want to cause trouble, I wish there was a way for me to file a report w the DOT backing up United and letting them know (from a customers point of view) that it was very obviously a mistake from what I saw on my computer.
Another +1. These folks are you-know-what-bent on hurting the airline that, for better or worse, I want to continue to fly with (even with all the many frustrations of such a decision -- which are indeed real, even if this whole tempest isn't one of them).
