Misleading headline.
Ya think? Seems that they are not going to be GROUNDED the airport is going to be closed/restricted in what AC it can handle for a time. UA is going to contiue flying everywhere else.
It's not even UA's planes. It's SkyWest and they have turbo prop E120's that can take off and land on 6000 feet. Where have all the real journalists gone?
Journalism can be aptly described as "fly by" where aviation is concerned.
So what do you think the service bulletin looks like to un-ground a flight. Do you think it involves replacing a defective customer service agent?
Flights are NOT GROUNDED, they are suspended or cancelled, pilots and aircraft are grounded for various reasons. Really lousy journalists are a dime a dozen all over the world and plenty of them.
