The first segment is a redeye from YVR-ORD. UA has never scheduled a redeye during winter IATA season.
It has always been removed from the Winter schedule eventually. I am not sure when this will happen, but I am fairly sure that it will.
So I am wondering if they follow the same pattern and cancel the first redeye flight before Winter season, and re book me on a way earlier flight that day (result is a 4+ hour schedule change, daytime flight), is it within the realm of possibility to not accept the schedule change and instead ask UA for a re route on all UA metal from YVR to JNB?
