<<Fan of UAL's timely refund on my card>> I'm a sympathizer of emplyees' families who's livelihoods went from comfortable to hand-to-mouth folowing the theiving UAL ESOP. So if UAL wants to keep writing checks and overpaying for customer loyalty, you'll get back your $198 but stand a solid chance of paying back in income taxes to subsidize the unemployment caused by archaic corporate behavior. Increasingly, these are theatre tickets. Carriers have no legal obligation to keep to schedule -- carriage from point A to B via any means is what your contract with them provides for, nothing more. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
