Misison Accomplished?

+1000%.

Instead there seems to be a UAL verison of "misison accomplished" with no more daily updates and the hub.united.com headline trumpeting: "united.com integration complete."

Nothing kills customer loyalty faster than the inability to trust the firm with whom you are dealing.

Maybe the scariest thing is in their minds the mission is complete.

Update on our passenger service system conversion

Today's post includes
Since the conversion, we have had dependable airline operations and good on-time performance. However, we have had some technical issues that have affected our customers, as would be expected with a very complex systems change. We have already solved many of the issues and are working to rapidly solve the remaining ones. We’re making a special effort to ensure we offer the services that let our Premier members take advantage of their status and benefits.

You may have a longer wait time to reach our phone-contact centers and we are working to reduce the time it takes for you to reach us. We have increased staff at our contact centers to serve you better. We apologize if you have had difficulty with your travel planning, and we are grateful for your patience.

Our technology and customer service teams are working hard to finish the system updates that will help us deliver the service and information you expect, and we will be making even more progress in the days ahead. Thank you for your business, your patience and your understanding. We will keep you posted as we continue to make progress.
far from what many FTers would like to see but also far from saying they have no issues and its done.

That "update" is pretty sad - zero recognition of specific issues (missing miles, UG issues, lost seat assignments, etc.)

Is your lifetime miles updated with the new posted flights? Mine's was not updated correctly with my flights from at least last week.

Agreed and I think UAI is doing a great job. This is bigger than UAI in my opinion though. Also, the bit about operations not being impacted is just not true:

in my case yes -- lifetime was updated with flight postings.

Those issues had been in the previous updates -- the March 15th upgrade is briefer than it has been

UA is not "too big to fail" and a exodus of the folks who DO PAY big $$ for F/J tickets is exactly what you do not want.

Please make a statement on the overall state of the airline.
I am also one of those who has control of our corporate travel and previously booked travel excepted, there will be no UA travel booked until this mess is straightened out.

As a previous CO Plat and UA 1K MM, this decline is discouraging.

This is interesting. Some were updated correctly. Some did not get updated at all. I think my lifetime mile was updated with miles from one flight but not from my other flight.
