United Airlines Temporarily Grounds All Flights
UPDATE: As of approximately 9:25pm EST United is reporting the ground stop has been lifted.

This comes after they announced yesterday that the loyalty programs will combine to one this coming Saturday, March 28th. This is good news for the carrier though it doesn’t mean they’ll begin operating as one airline. They are running ahead of schedule according to their earlier public reports.

Should The Government Control Whether You Can Make A Phone Call On Your Next Flight?
