Delta states that changes for 11/7 and 11/8 are in place. AA and Southwest just say to check for changes. I don’t know if that means that United could have waited and cancelled fewer flights or if they are better about handling system changes like this.
I wonder if UA wanted to make changes first to have more flexibility. Once flights are reduced at a given airport by another airline, I assume it it less available for United to cancel a flight at the same airport since someone beat them to it. If Southwest and AA are late, then their options are constrained by what United and Delta have already announced.

I think what UA is doing by announcing the changes earlier than the competition is brilliant on their part.
Based on what I see looking at Sunday's cancellations, regional flights are still taking the brunt of the cancellations. I wonder if this will hold as we get deeper into the FAA restrictions.
