Because you are talking about the "new UA". Texas think. Hell, even Lorenzo would have issued a weather waiver, after issuing a few pink slips.

Website not waiving change fee
Hey guys
I have an upcoming flight from DFW to CHO through IAD. As many of you already know there will be a winter storm hitting IAD on March 4th and there is a waiver up right now. Because both of the DFW-IAD and IAD-CHO flights are on Express, they get hammer hard in this kind of condition. I want to get another routing (maybe through CLT on US). I am trying to change on to a DFW-IAH-CLT-CHO flight. But the website is trying to charge me for the fare difference, which should be waived. I called customer support trying to get that routing or even a simpler one DFW-CLT-CHO flight soley with US, but the agent is saying they cannot book me onto US if my flight is not cancelled. Is there anyway I can avoid going through IAD?
Thanks

it keeps changing. Yesterday they had 8+ inches; guess that has changed right now. The entire NE corridor is going to be a mess and most BOS planes have EWR/IAD routes coming or going ... makes sense IMO to include.

Thanks for the input. But US is still *A until March 30th, so in case of a WX I might be able to get one of their flight.
