Oy. And apparently, ow.

Worst of both worlds! Suppose if sleeping soundly enough to stay unconscious for the stop / crew exchange in HNL, might not be so bad.

There was definitely a blighted period when they were first introduced to the fleet. Have not kept up to date with statistics, but I think that has subsided somewhat.

Today’s EWR-BRU on the fritz...delayed by 6 hours and counting. My brother blew his connection there as a result, so I bought him EWR-ZRH-onward on an award biz ticket within 1 hour of departure...now to figure out how to get his bag to where he’s going...

bought? He couldn't be rebooked by UA as IRROP protection once the delay hit 3+ hours?

We were also on this flight. Due to arrive 0805, got here around 1515. Missed two different connections, but there is a later one and there is still hope of getting to our final destination. Did get an email from Customer Care. Will process it after a good nights sleep and post the offer.

UA23 EWR-DUB departing 2/27 arriving 2/28 diverted to BRU due to weather at DUB. After several hours, the BRU-DUB leg canceled.
As a result UA22 DUB-EWR 2/28 canceled.

Got offered 8750 miles or $175 ETC. Was expecting more like 15K or $350. I think they are definitely not as generous as in the past.

I doubt he’ll get a refund since I called in and had the agent cancel his outbound segment and refund the $$. I’m really surprised that this crew didn’t time out after a 7-hour delay...

Flight deck timed out, FA's did not. Rough day for the poor FA's. They still did a great job, at least in business. Of course, the fact that 100 pax offloaded themselves may have made things a little easier for them.
