My friend is currently on the DEN-NRT which has been delayed per the UA website to severe weather conditions according to .bomb but per pilot, due to weight and balance issues. They are taxiing now-3 hours late. And the entertainment system is broken and will be down the whole flight. And bathroom issues.

It will be in the SEC Filings for sure - but whether you can find it or not is another matter. I don't look at airlines SEC filings to know where it might appear. Forget their earnings calls and the reports their marketing team issue, I would be amazed if they showed it in there.

Some things that make you shake your head given how transparent things are these days with the information UA decides to share.

I guess "delayed due to a late inbound aircraft" sounds better than "late because we don't have enough aircraft," or "late because the schedule is really just a suggestion," or best of all "late because we just don't care."

The make-up flight out of HKG to SFO was delayed which will cause a mis-connect for GS friends family member. They spent the night at the Regal Airport Hotel at HKG. The only explanation they got was a bad light bulb. His wife thinks we are all crazy flying so much.

Be thankful UA has a system that gives you a reason and where the aircraft is coming from. It's a lot better than nothing like the rest.

That has all the signs of an aircraft swap. So it's sort of correct. The root reason (the originally scheduled aircraft couldn't do it) probably isn't in the automated system.

Even UA isn't daft enough to schedule a 747 for a 30 minute turn...
Complaining about this is like not understanding expert mode and complaining why your upgrade hasn't cleared when there are still F seats for sale
