This is the first time I have had UA do this; it probably had a LOT to do with the circumstances. My original flight had been cancelled, then reinstated-- it was set to depart at 5 pm, but the 1 pm departure was STILL at the gate at 4 pm, so I told the UA res agent that I didn't think either flight would go.
