Maybe the irony is that all "official" dates in Government, Judicial, Healthcare, Insurance, Licensing, etc... are in YY(YY)/MM/DD format. Other firms may use MM/DD or DD/MM as my company did and drove me crazy after working in Police and 911 dispatch Services for many years. Therein lies the confusion domestically. That same confusion does not happen in the United States where everyone uses the same MM/DD format that I am well aware of. When traveling, I am always looking for the DD, MM, YYYY designation for the local format. If not apparent, I use 3 letters for the month.

I originally found your reply offensive when you attached a nationality as the cause of the confusion, it came off as arrogant.

AA has $795 one-way PE fares from ICN to just about any destination in North America and South America (SEA, LAX, SFO, ORD, JFK, YVR, YYC,YYZ, SCL and others, book today fly tomorrow) with a free stopover in the US. Any changes are limited to a maximum $76 re-issue fee. (89,000 WON) I am flying back ICN-DFW on Friday and DFW-SCL on October 7th. My DFW-SEA segment to YLW was upgraded today. No further trips planned before October, yet!

What does any of this have to do with AS's IRROPS handling?

Oh? Was this a thread on AS's IRROPS handling? It isn't eveident in the Title!

It is a side note for those that might be interested when they click on the non-descript AS flight which could just as easily be about the quality of a flight in a quest for EQM. If it appeases you, I can remove it. Let me know.

Hey, at least it wasn't 8 hours+: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/...140Z/KEWR/KSFO

Both of those flights were about six hours of air time (look at wheels up/down time on flight aware). I've never been a fan of flight aware showing total block time.
