I mentioned that Matthew was the only one who did so in my first post.

Of course we all know the real reason bloggers don't want to cover this. Don't give us the "I'm insulted you suggest bloggers are like that..." Of course it makes the credit card signing bonuses a lot less attractive. No worries though, everyone in the newspaper's real estate section does the same thing.

I'm pretty sure the real reason has been given already - nobody gives a crap about this.

If it happened to my own flights and I experienced it first hand I might want to write it up, but why would I trawl through a forum filled with rumors to cobble together a story that has no pertinence to me?

Not at all. And, quite frankly, that you imply such is insulting.

Nope.

I've always found you to be a poster, and blogger of a different sort. I say this an extreme compliment. You take the road less traveled, and I really was surprised that you showed no interest in this at all.

I rather look at it as a mystery novel. You read the first chapter of the crime of the canceled CA tickets, and want to keep on reading to find out who the dastardly villain is. Sherlock Holmes worked on a number of mundane sounding cases.

Is it incompetence from UA? CA? Some nefarious plot to free up CA F space?

(And my comments on your recent problems were not a dig at all, or any type of attack on you, but a serious question about why you might not be pursuing it.)
