To be fair, this wasn't really UA, was it? I was under the impression that this was an LH decision; if LH doesn't make the seats available until 90 days out, it's not really UA's fault that they can't book them.
I've actually been fairly happy with UA. IMHO they've been one of the more stable programs over the past couple of years (as opposed to, say, Delta)..
