One time they had three LAX-SYD flights leave in the same night, because the prior two night's flights were canceled.

How did they handle it, you ask? Badly. Some things never change.
Used to have a new thread every year for that UA flight.

But is must have been a good $$ earner for the other airlines flying Aust USA
