Earlier this year I flew FRA-IAH and we were delayed a few hours. During the flight I was talking to an FA who said the purser was getting concerned with the delay since he had to work IAH-NRT the following day. I asked if there was anybody on reserve who could fill in and was told no.

Glad I flew from NRT-DEN yesterday instead of today -- looks like UA142 NRT-DEN left NRT almost 2 hours late and made a pit stop in ANC today, causing the flight to be about 4 hrs late into DEN. Anyone know why? Judging from the flight map the diversion was initiated right about at the end of the Aleutians.

Ouch, that happened to me at the end of August. They rerouted me via in NRT on ANA, then on UA to LAX as that was my destination ( even got an upgrade to business class on the UA segment) so pretty good and a proactive E Cert to boot How did they handle your situation?

UA142 NRT-DEN yesterday (Sun 10/22) diverted to ANC mid-flight due to crew member (I believe FA) illness. All-in, approximately 4 hour delayed arrival at DEN including original 60+ minute departure delay from NRT, which seems pretty good given the risk of time-outs and other issues that could have further delayed completion of flight. Biggest issue getting out of ANC was getting our medical supplies certified (sounded like crew used multiple medical devices and supplies trying to care for ill crew member before landing at ANC). While on the ground, a diverting DL188 (PEK-DTW) landed at ANC and parked next to us.
Does anyone happen to know status of ill crew member?
Proactive e-certs offered: $265 for me (UA Gold), $130 for my wife (UA Silver) on same paid itinerary (same PNR). Is this in the normal range for united.com/appreciation offers?

Sounds about right for a 4h delay in Y; if J, I think you could write in and get a little more. Was DEN your final destination? If you got pushed from (ex.) a 9p arrival to a 1a/6a arrival (b/c forced onto a significantly later connection), that would probably be grounds for more, and the site isn't ime intelligent enough to make that differentiation automatically.
