This is exactly what happened at my home airport. Now the frequencies are being cut. Can't get to NY prior to Noon. How business friendly is that? Contract workers that provide poor (or no) service. Reliability is crap.
AA and DL flying mainline. Makes it tough to stay with UA at this point.

Agreed. The only reason I stayed with United in 2014 was their service to Bangkok. For 2015, no such reason to stay with them.
Their RJ operation is out of control.
