Didn't relize this was generally done over weekends so thanks. I have had several flights now canceled over the next month (Not just with UA). I will be watching my current bookings carefully this weekend to see how many are canceled. I just went through rebooking a flight on Monday and was told I would receive compensation following completion of my trip, this has to be costing UA some dollars but I guess not as much as it would be to run the canceled flight obviously. I swear I am finding flying now more difficult than during the early Covid days. At least then what few flights were running did seem to go out on time with minimal cancelations. I actually flew quite a bit during those early days as I didn't have the "luxury" of staying home. Now picking it up again first Q of 2022 but now not looking forward to it at all.
