The flight UA 1223 was announced by email to be cancelled three hours before the flight departure today (Sunday). I was on the way to the airport for another flight connecting to UA 1223. When I arrived at the gate at EWR, we were told it was reinstated with a smaller plane and it was overbooked. The attendant at the gate asked passengers to give up their seats for a $300 voucher. However, there would not be any seat of the same flight until Thursday. I certainly would not give up my seat even if the offer is $3000 voucher for the unreliable service of UNITED.
This new UNITED SUCKS has cancelled several of my flights in the past few months (almost every trip) because the "over and over again" overbooking. I think it is a regular practice that this airline overbooks every flight and cancels flights the last minute at the expenses of passengers. I think the government should have regulation to prohibit airlines openly ripping off their customers! I'll certainly avoid this unreliable airline from now on! UNITED is at the bottom of my list now!
