Not sure if it’s been covered before if it would show both status but confirming DR and lifetime shows the former…..

Now will it make a difference? lol not holding my breath

Boarded a plane from ORD-SAN, half of the plane boarded but we were told we were going to deplane due to an apparently significant mechanical issue.

Was told there was a flight from MCO arriving shortly, we were in B9 and had to board in C15. I laughed knowing that once we go down this rabbit hole it turns into a 3-5 hr delay.

Fast forward - no joke the entire plane moved from B to C terminal, waited for MCO flight to land, got on the plane and only arrived 30 min late to SAN. If we were in SAN, MCO it would have been a multi-hour delay but since we were in ORD, it turned into only a short delay.

Well done UA

Not sure of the backstory but saw this at ORD. Apparently a medical retirement.

Not a dry eye in the gate area
