milespoints , I saw this post and your other one above about your experience. Were you able to successfully get TK to work with UA to open award seats during these calls? I'm in a similar position with schedule changes, less-than-ideal auto-rebooking, and lots of back-and-forth. (I've given up on getting better flights, but even on the auto-assigned ones, UA says it looks fine whereas TK says it's not confirmed - I'm expecting to need to make a trip to the airport.)
