I have never seen a day as free from delays as our day was, yet somehow we ended up with a weather delay. This seems to suggest that either the airline was lying to their desk personnel or the desk personnel was lying to us. This is inappropriate and unprofessional. If their is a delay fault should be acknowledged and dealt with not circumvented. I understand their are penalties from an airline perspective if delays are your fault...this is true in every other profession...plumbing, medicine, banking...horrible! I will take my business elsewhere.

Ditto on the "weather" excuse. TWICE in 2 days. Our family will NEVER fly United again.
