@derek – Great idea on the renaming except then the flying public might expect quality rather than what they’re getting now.

I flew this flight on December 31st (landing in the 30th) and one of my fellow island hopper passengers was taking this flight January 1st specifically for this reason. 🙁

So typical. The real story is probably about the maintenance and why United didn’t substitute a fully operational aircraft from San Francisco early in the delay. Why did a aircraft delayed nine hours for maintenance need so much additional maintenance afterwards?
