Expect others will follow.
UA1016 is about to land in CUN. Will be interesting to see if they are allowed to bring it back. Same with the three that will be in Hawaii.
I was thinking the same thing. This has to leave some birds in odd locations. The airlines will have planes stuck all over the place, some at airports where they may have just a handful of flights - the planes will just sit there? And what about the pax at smaller airports with limited capacity or options. I guess UA might have to send a rescue bird to some places just to pick up the stranded pax? At this point the CUN-xxx flights later this afternoon are still showing as "on schedule."
