At the hour point. The app is still showing "on schedule".
Just arrived. Doesn't look like he rushed.

UA 90 left with a 3 hour delay however, UA 845 B767 wasn't so lucky, IAD - GRU 767 went down last night for aircraft maintenance.

another 747 down for maintenance.
UA 59 FRA-SFO on 11/3
Also worth mentioning, a UA 789 went down for maintenance today at IAH, was supposed to fly to SFO so we will see if this results in a delay/cancelled SFO 787 flight later on in the day

EWR to HKG full of passengers being delayed for some inoperable reading lights (won't turn on at the seat). Unbelievable.

Why should someone else 'suffer' because of your predicament? Seems like it would inconvenience even MORE people with that scenario.
The point was, I think, that there should be no difference in paid vs. points upgrade. At the time of CONFIRMED booking, they should be treated equally.

The callousness of your position is undefendable IMHO but hey I believe in karma
. I have taken this (even more) off OT so mods feel free to delete my vent

If you are feeling abused, and I agree the scenario of a three day delay sounds horrible, then you should take this up with United

The argument is that taking that paid-for seat away for some other displaced passenger would not be fair at that point.
I tend to agree. A paid for business class seat shouldn't be somehow treated differently from a paid for economy class seat.
Btw, if you're comfortable measuring what is ok to do based on relative inconvenience, then there are any number of additional things that would be justified to do based on someone having been stranded for 3 days.
And I think you're right, this is getting into a bit of political / OT / social discussion. It's like debating whether the rich can afford more taxes because you're only taking a little bit away from them to help others...

dollar plus a GPU is PAID - period
Dollars is paid - period
Doesn't matter how many dollars or how many whatevers you paid for it, it is paid, you have a seat.
Next thing will be they go by price of the seat, someone who paid $1500 for his seat will get bumped before the person who paid $1525 - that is dumb
If you have a seat in XX cabin, then you paid for it by some means, that should be the end of the conversation.
