Somebody with aptitude and conviction should buy the FAKE AIRLINE and failing @UnitedAirlines and either run it correctly or let it fold with dignity!

Its the Y2.017K bug finally manifesting itself.

Remember - It's important to be comfortable in your own skin... because it turns out society frowns on wearing other people's

Sorry, I have checked the alternative facts and I have to correct you: it's not a fake airline. It's a so-called airline.
Carry on.

Hope it is fixed by Friday!

But, my flight last night was uneventful and on time.

Weird, Delta and I think American ran into this issue each over the last couple of months. Crazy how archaic the heavily regulated computer systems are in the airline industry. I would imagine it is years of stop gap patches that addressed small issues a the time now in conflict.


"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden

Was a story on NPR about this recently and they claimed part of it was layering different systems on top of each other after large mergers (e.g United and Continental) and the underlying systems just can't handle it.

Still better than flying in the northeast tomorrow... flights already being cancelled due to the nor'easter
