yesterday
UA1413 SFO-BOS 752 3hrs late due to aircraft maintenance and replaced with a 753 w/o lie-flat seats!
today
UA319 BOS-SFO 752 replaced with a 753 with regular domestic F
I hope UA provided proper compensation for this screw up; hard to believe they cannot find a decent spare plane in SFO

Deep breath before the mayhem begins tomorrow ... Flying DEN-MSP on Monday... going to be exciting to chase Jaxon right through the swath of ground-zero snowfall as it falls.
I suspect DEN is going to be a mess tomorrow through Monday... ORD is likely to be somewhat impacted on Monday as well, though it appears the majority of the snow will be north of there.

As usual SFO is under a ground delay program. FAA web site states “RWY-TAXI / OBSTRUCTION”. Does anyone have any insight on what might be going on with runway 28L as I am pretty sure it has not been in use since mid day.

I had just woken up and may have misheard but captain on BOS-SFO told us we were slowed down on arrival due to a GDP caused by a "hole they found on the runway". Hoping it was slightly less dramatic/more routine than I immediately interpreted it…

It must be fixed now as we just landed on 28L with an almost 3 hr delay from SAN.

UA242 SFO-BOS 752 3hrs late due to aircraft maintenance and replaced with a 753 (!) again!
therefore today
UA207 SFO-BOS 752 cancelled due to maintenance and replaced by a 753
they got to fix these subs on the 'p.s.' routes.

Sounds like this flight needs one more letter between the letters p.s. ....

So. Last ERJ45 flight out of IAH tonight, and they’re waiting on a plane that was originally delayed due to MX. It’ll only be an hour delay, but honestly I’m holding out for a plane swap (given UX has seemingly a bajillion ER45 at IAH). If they don’t end up plane swapping and it truly is almost or more than an hour delay, would it be worth complaining about the fact I waited assuming they’d do the plane swap (after a 2 hour layover) and could have actually driven or taken the ground shuttle (bus) for less time at added cost to me?
If its only an hour delay, I may not be unhappy (as long as I’m in bed by midnight all is probably well) but as a college student with class tomorrow anything more and honestly I do feel they need to just swap the plane out. Surely the other 6+ ER45s that will spend the night at B-south aren’t all going through MX overnight?

My issue isn’t the compensation (while it would be nice), it’s more that I’d like the team with the money at stake (the team issuing compensation) to realize that an hour delay for a 20 minute flight when they could’ve changed planes isn’t really acceptable. But I can see how this wouldn’t be a compensation issue, so apologies for cluttering this thread.

Again an assumption which may or may not be true. It does seem reasonable if they had the crew, the aircraft and making a change would not create issues further downline, UA would have done something. The fact they did not perhaps means they knew things you did not know.

??? Your college experience sounds a lot different than mine was. (Kidding )
The United Express carriers tend to run a very svelte operation -- it's part of the way that they keep costs low. They may not have any standby crew, and there's an excellent chance that the crew scheduled to work the CLL flight is currently working whatever flight has the inbound MX. In other words, I agree -- if it were as simple as "swap planes," they'd probably already have done it.

However, they'd scheduled a 1 hour, 15 minute turn at IAH. They actually turned it in an impressive 17 minutes, which accounts for the additional hour savings and the eventual 30 minute delay into CLL.
OP: as a rule of thumb, I figure 20-25 minutes to turn an RJ, 35-45 minutes to turn a 737/A320, and about an hour to turn a widebody, assuming they don't need to tow it from gate to gate or anything.

Anyone know what happened to UA675 ORD-DEN today? Diverted to MSP and is finally enroute to DEN to arrive 7 hours late.
