Why can't United do that? As one of the few remaining legacy carriers you'd think they could at least get that going...
Of course - of my 20 DL/AA segments this year, I think only one (AA) didn't post next day, and it was because it was a late night arrival - was there 1.5 days later.
PMUA could / did post next day, but that technology is long gone. The issue of course (as it is with many) is SHARES.
