IAH to HNL delayed in IAH, going on 4 hours. What happened to terminal C? Non stop dance music driving me to the edge.

eng3,
I just checked the United app - your delay is listed as "severe weather conditions in our route network" and I guess that is what made the original A319 unavailable. Good question about my pilots doing extra checks, when those checks must have been done by your pilots already!

so why is Delta flying to SJU and United is not? All cancellations to SJU are 'operational' rather than 'weather'. UA once again unprepared? Not surprising

Time to post my gripes again about Commutair.... UA4806 EWR-ITH delayed 3.5 hours for reasons unknown to anyone in the GS department. UA4921 EWR-ITH cancelled due to mx. Now going to drive to the Binghamton area. Hoping the freezing rain holds off until later tonight..... I would be stupid to hold my breath that 4806 goes tonight.
Earlier this month, my EWR-ITH was cancelled for mx. 0-2 this year using that crap UX carrier. I had a huge go-around with them a couple years back after a rash of ridiculous mx cancellations out of IAD.
Are there any plans to replace these aircraft with more reliable RJs?

ERW/ITH today 4932 (17:20) already canceled due to "air traffic contiditions." (actually it looks like it was canceled last night already!) The earlier flight met the same fate. I'm on it tomorrow and am crossing my fingers...
My return on Friday is the 19:15 ITH/EWR (4819) which also has an abysmal record, gives me 1:21 in EWR to connect to my ORD flight. I'm guessing I'll be spending the night in either ITH or EWR. If I'm reading the stats right, the average delay is 60 minutes.
How can UA even try to run this route with the horrid track record?

I'm entering the EWR/ITH vortex this week.

Due to WEATHER / THUNDERSTORMS, there is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving Newark International Airport, Newark, NJ (EWR). This is causing some arriving flights to be delayed an average of 5 hours and 10 minutes.

“Delayed due to operational difficulties.”
pax in rear vomited in before before doors closed. Apparently didn’t/couldn’t avail himself of the airsick bags. Wouldn’t leave the plane. Kept saying “I’m a doctor!” With coaxing of the captain, finally left the plane.
UA posted a delay to 5:05, cleaners came quickly, and the flight took off at 5:05!

04Nov UA636 ORD-EWR, pmCO 757 (16J), 0755 departure. After boarding, Captain announces "...some trouble fueling, and we can't go without gas. It should be about 15 minutes." Rolling delay continues. About an 45 minutes in, Captain announces, "...still no definitive fix time, but it shouldn't be too much longer." About 60 minutes in, GA makes a PA asking everyone to deplane, giving a 1000 "decision time."
I called GS, and snagged the last J seat on UA1510, the 1030 departure, a 3-class pmUA 763.
UA636 finally departed ORD 1255, exactly five hours late.

Last night (Nov 8) two UA Boeing 777s diverted to San Jose, CA (SJC) at the same time. It must be quite a scene for SJC since UA never had wide bodies there. The flights were UA257 from Denver to SFO, and UA1742 from ORD to SFO.
