Tried to call to confirm a manual schedule change, the wait time is greater than 10 hours. Wowza. They probably should have held the schedule changes until next weekend when there isn't a snow event expected in the PNW.

The second hour of my 10h+ wait has ended.
Still waiting. My guess is that someone would call me in the 4th or 5th hour.
There would definitely be people giving up, plus with Pacific being morning at this time, I expect more agents to become available during the day which would shorten the wait.

Second PAE-SAN flight gone in May (at least through May 19)
My outbound PAE-SAN flight on Wed May 19 at 9:55am disappeared this morning. Looks like the 2x/day PAE-SAN nonstop is now down to 1x/day, a 6:30am PAE departure. At least on every date I sampled through May 19. The 2x PAE departures remain on dates after that from what I can tell.
No 6:30am, thank you. Not for a leisure trip.
I'll miss the 30% F offer I redeemed as an Elite in early January for the RT with my spouse. But with the 10-hour-plus hold times caused by the snowstorm this weekend, it wasn't worth trying to save the offer (which didn't seem likely, anyway, due to its T&Cs). Credit back into my Wallet for another, later trip.

However, I was unable to pick up the phone so I recalled and now the new wait time is 5h26 to 8h10 mins. Certainly better than 10h+

Callback came within 5 hours. Agent (upon my asking how his day was going) said it was the worst of his career.
My SFO/HNL is now SFO/LAX/HNL. Original rebooking was via SAN, but via LAX I could arrive earlier, so he gladly changed it.
Return remains nonstop, but a few hours earlier, to my non-delight.
Since it remains two months out, I doubt I've seen the end of the changes. This is the second time on this reservation. Since this trip should make me MVPG for 2022, I'll probably keep it no matter (within some reason) how undesirable things get.

From MSP-PDX I would have taken the later PM departure to SEA rather than the morning.....speaking of MSP, is the UA Lounge open again there for AS Lounge members?

coincidentally, 20 May is the start date for SEA-CVG, so perhaps that’s still in the wait-and-see column
