sbm12 - Thanks for the suggestion. I am looking for the type of info that would help me determine if this really is "normal" or if there have truly been an increase in the number of safety issues. What cruisr said is what I'm hoping what is happening (i.e. I'm just noticing more of these things because my friends and family are flying when usually it's just me). From what I've been seeing lately, if UA's "issues" were safety events in a clinical trial, the program would be canceled. UA just seems to keep on trucking, however, so maybe it's just me hearing things that have always been there and I just never noticed before.
