I personally wish all of these short TATL flights would leave much later, at least then you have a chance to get in a half ways decent nap.


Also-
UA142 NRT-DEN on 9/5 cancelled "due to operational difficulties" although the inbound is almost to NRT. EF shows crew availability, which is interesting as the DEN-NRT flights have been mostly ontime all week.

There's no reason to assume that the crew for UA142 came from a previous DEN-NRT flight. UA can (and does) schedule things like DEN-NRT-SFO-NRT-DEN or whatever. (Not necessarily this particular pattern -- that's just an example).

How long until [email protected] responds? I've been waiting for about 1.5 weeks without any response

It can take a couple weeks sometimes... if it takes longer than 3, I would poke them again.

It was originally scheduled to be N2331U (not 2131). That plane landed at EWR from SFO as UA535 a few minutes late just after 8pm. They did the aircraft change at 9pm, so MX of some form seems likely.

UA should provide hotels. If that is not the case then they should get something reasonable send in the bill.

UA888 (SFO-PEK) is currently showing an arrival time of 5:03p (2h23m late) due to a mix of maintenance (caused the return to the gate) followed by operations.
