In addition, all Active Flight Alerts for United award or upgrade class codes will be put into the Expired state.
What would the rationale be for the pulling their inventory from EF?? It's not like a novice would ever have a subscription to a third party site!
FWIW, United didn't "pull" it's inventory from EF. EF got its information directly from the United website. So when UA removed that information EF was no longer able to access it just like the rest of us.
