Planes are still taking off and not falling out of the sky. Just a minor glitch. Nothing to see here.

We're boarding 857 now. Will turn out to be about a 2 hr delay, unless something else goes wrong

I'm so glad I've switched my main loyalty to an airline that (1) shows that it wants my business, (2) has a safety video featuring baggage handlers rather than CEOs, (3) upgrades me, (4) feeds me well, (5) let's me sit in its F lounges, and (6) HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR!

Website is back up - however it says I have no recent flight activity when I go to see what flights hit my account for mileage credit.

Looks like planes are leaving ORD. My friend's flight is in the air, about 45 mins late.

SHARES Down, Major IT Problems
Today is yet another day that is not UA's day. USA TODAY reports major network outage affecting operations.

While the bomb and associated systems did crash, never were there this many problems with PMUA as compared to the ones which COdbaUA has had had in just 6 months of implementing its system.
