Absolutely unacceptable and reminds me one of the reasons why I quit AA several years ago in favor of UA. UA's IT is, for now, far superior to that of AA or DL. I've canceled dozens of UA-issued awards, and every single time the miles have been automatically and instantly redeposited, no matter how complex the award.
smart moved… made the switch to UA as well and never looked back, not even for a second.
