3) A random glitch. It has happened to me before, and within a few days inventory goes back to normal.
1: Seatmap isn't fully empty but far from full. About 8 booked in J, 4 in PE, and a couple dozen in Y.
2. Would TPE->SFO really be cancelled? UA 871/872 have been consistently present in UA's schedule for as far back as I can remember (2015).
3. I thought it would be this but it's been like this for a week+ now. I guess I can wait another week.
