It will appear as Bday+1 for birthday tomorrow, Bday for birthday today, and Bday-1 for birthday yesterday .
To see a customers itinerary, you need to have an active live connection. At the moment, they can not rebook IRROPS. Once in the air, it uses cached data, onboard Wi-Fi doesn't work because company-issued devices are currently not able to bypass the customer pay firewall. But that will change in the future.

The point is this is entirely UNNECESSARY. We have all these cool devices to save 4 seconds of time while surrendering our privacy. United FAs don't NEED this info, and customers are better off if they don't have it. If you want to give up your privacy and information, fine. But I should have the right to say HELL NO.
How easy is it to hack something not connected to the network?
Doesn't UA already have this info already on their mainframes?
