It's atrocious customer service but honestly, I think they've just given up. They don't want to care.

I have zero expectation of UA doing anything right or delivering on what they sell me. And I have zero expectation that when they don't deliver on what they've sold me they'll - at minimum - apologize for failure to perform.

I can say that for 2014 my expectations have been met.

Which is why the reply tactic is effective. It reopens the ticket in their system and likely shows up as a reopen in the rep's queue -- basically a red flag that the issue was not taken care of.

This is clearly a compensation-worthy event. The question is how much.

Also. has YYZ gone outsource yet?
