Al, I wasn't clear enough.. Over the weekend the LHR flights will make an intermediate stop in on the way back to US in Prestwick. So, the LHR-ORD flight will have to land in Prestwick, get more fuel and then fly to ORD. I saw that on United's computers in LAX today.. BAHA Fan of being home for next 6 months, too bad I cannot fly my beloved UAL that much any more. -----Original Message----- From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Allan9 Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 7:20 PM To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: LHR strike Baha They've been doing that for at least 40 years Al ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bahadir Acuner" <bahadiracuner@xxxxxxxxx> To: <AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 12:04 PM Subject: LHR strike > No word of agreement on the LHR strike yet.
