UA37 EDI-EWR canceled 4/14, mx

UA982 KWI-BAH canceled 4/14 for crew availability
Also UA981 BAH-KWI same reason.

The flights between IAD-KWI-IAD seem to be operating, but IAD-KWI is scheduled to arrive 2:40 late, and KWI-IAD is blocked at 1:20 late w/ an ETD of 0145a.

Speaking of 37 yesterday's flight was delayed nearly 8 hours due to MX issues.

wow, 8 hrs late due to maintenance yesterday and today cancelled due to maintenance. What a great 752 reliability once again ... different bird as well.

I couldn't stand the suspense.

922 was cx due to flight crew availability
431/628 aircraft mx
801 flight crew availability

I have a friend of mine who was supposed to be on UA801, but when that cancelled, he was going to call about getting on the non-stop to LAX (either UA, BA or NZ) because his final is SBP (but originally booked LHR-EWR-LAX-SBP), and the auto-rebooking system would have him arriving in LAX after the last flight of the night had gone for SBP. Apparently the phone agent said that the cancellation is not in their control because it isn't a maintenance delay.

With logic like that how can anyone win?

Friend needs to HUACA and demand reasonable re-accommodation. Flight crew availability is very much in UA's control, like almost all of the other disasters hereto spelled out in this thread. At the least, he should be provided with ground transport to SBP on arrival at LAX, or an overnight hotel at LAX with flight the next day.

He actually merged the call with me and his 4th attempt with UA. He has no status, so I got to see what it is like for non-status members and it is shocking and appalling. First, once again, they told him that he would need to take the routing that .bomb had selected. After I piped up and suggested that they try and find seats on LHR-LAX or LHR-SFO the agent became defensive and said that she could route him via IAD, which would also cause an issue. The agent actively tried to not look at the non-stops from LHR to either SFO or LAX. After realizing that this was going no where, we all disconnected, got him back on the line and I called the 1K line. Within 5 minutes, was able to get him on LHR-LAX and the LAX-SBP on the same day. When I told her about the issues calling the general line, her answer was, "now there are so many things we have to take into consideration, including the fare type, and management doesn't want us to change the whole itinerary, just the segment that is causing the issue so technically the regular agent was ok in offering a different EWR flight."

Did anyone mention the 600 EUR in any of the calls?

fgirard

Nope, but I doubt that will take effect because he is leaving earlier tomorrow.

Some more of those nagging 757 issues
68 EWR - ARN delayed 3hrs 5min due to MX (Tail 105)
74 EWR - HAM delayed 2hrs 40min due to MX (Tail 141)

UA 134 EWR-ZRH left past midnight, instead of 6h20p.m.. Wondering, if there was a crew change, as such a delay often results in a crew going illegal?

4/16 UA 892 ICN-SFO (N171UA) cancelled due to aircraft maintenance.
Right now looks like they will run an extra sector on 4/17 UA 2060 ICN-SFO departing at 1600 and arriving at 0953.

4/16 UA 895 HKG-SIN (N222UA) delayed 3 hours 9 minutes due to aircraft maintenance.
4/16 UA 869 SFO-HKG (N197UA) departure was delayed 1 hour 33 minutes due to aircraft maintenance.

UA819 was cancelled IAH-EZE on 4/16. Passengers have been moved to an extra section - UA2068 today IAH-EZE at 1130am, meaning that UA818 will have a 4 hour delay tonight.
Also - UA818 will have a delay tomorrow due to crew rest.
