According to Flightaware UA863 tonight actually was in flight to SYD and diverted back to SFO with a flight time of ~3:35 min. Not sure what the problem was. Why UA cancelled 870 is odd as 863 normally flies back as 840 and history suggests that it is 840 rather than 870 that UA normally cancels.

I must have been really bored today and tabulated some international issues, I used an hour delay in departure/arrival time as the threshold to make the list:
UA63 MAD-EWR 3 hours
UA78 NRT-EWR Canceled
UA127 DUB-IAD 1H 40M
UA919 LHR-IAD 2 hours
UA808 PEK-IAD Canceled
UA844 GRU-ORD Canceled
UA855 LIM-IAH 1hr
UA2065 IAD-PEK took off, returned to field. I believe this was the protection flight for yesterdays IAD-PEK that canceled, gotta be some unhappy people on there.
UA122 IAD-LHR 2 hours
UA807 IAD-PEK 1hour
UA903 SFO-ICN 1 hour
UA990 SFO-CDG 1H 50 M
UA858 SFO-PVG 1 hour
UA106 EWR-MUC 1H 30M
UA66 ORD-SNN 1H 40M
UA918 IAD-LHR 3H 10M
UA904 EWR-CDG 1H 20M
UA36 EWR-EDI 1H 20M
UA118 ORD-EDI 2H 30M still hasn't left
UA1007 IAH-BOG 1 hour
Ua901 SFO-LHR canceled

UA78 NRT-EWR Canceled
UA127 DUB-IAD 1H 40M
UA919 LHR-IAD 2 hours
UA808 PEK-IAD Canceled
UA844 GRU-ORD Canceled
UA855 LIM-IAH 1hr
UA2065 IAD-PEK took off, returned to field. I believe this was the protection flight for yesterdays IAD-PEK that canceled, gotta be some unhappy people on there.
UA122 IAD-LHR 2 hours
UA807 IAD-PEK 1hour
UA903 SFO-ICN 1 hour
UA990 SFO-CDG 1H 50 M
UA858 SFO-PVG 1 hour
UA106 EWR-MUC 1H 30M
UA66 ORD-SNN 1H 40M
UA918 IAD-LHR 3H 10M
UA904 EWR-CDG 1H 20M
UA36 EWR-EDI 1H 20M

UA1007 IAH-BOG 1 hour
Ua901 SFO-LHR canceled
UA857 SFO-PVG 2H 25M
Add to it from yesterday:
UA936 IAD-ZRH returned to EWR after what I assume is mechanical since they were over Nova Scotia when they tuned back. Downline ZRH-EWR (UA993) cancelled for today.

This is almost definitely related to the curfew at SYD. The problem w/ the UA flights is they are booked to arrive right at the earliest time flights can land in SYD. With favorable winds UA will delay the flight at their starting point rather than flying across the Pacific and then burning fuel by circling around SYD for the 40 minutes. Almost always the plane arrives on-time or 5-10 minutes late depending on sequencing.

UA863 MX over Pacific Aug16-17, were you on it?
Hi,
Just about to leave for SYD from SFO tomorrow. Curious about the mechanical yesterday Aug16/17. Were you on it? What happened precisely?
Thanks,
JohnPaul

Not exactly. It's what one would expect (except for the cancels) when you have a couple hundred widebody flights a day alone. The list includes 752 flights too. If these lists are a complete look at international delays and cancels for the day, it doesn't seem out of line. Less than 10% of the flights have a significant delay or worse.
Also I don't believe flight 2065 yesterday ever took off and returned. FlightAware doesn't have a record of the flight. It probably never flew.

Been using LX for the past month for US-CH flights. Seats are horrible in business, but the choice is clear in light of UAL's continued unacceptable European flights.

It's certainly not what one might expect from a competently run airline.
Delta had one cancel today, a 752 from GUM to NRT (but apparently 752s don't count
)
