I reported here, my own experience with the latest United Airlines glitch.  Here are a few updates and observations….

1.  Poof!   Many have reported that the United Airlines reservations they made with the, for lack of a better word, glitch,  have simply disappeared from their accounts.

2. Twitter Hashtag!   an interesting hashtag trend began yesterday on Twitter: #HonorTheTickets

3.  Spoof Twitter Account!  There is now a Twitter user named @UnitedGlitch, who’s profile says ” I will get your hopes up only to smash them to itty-bitty pieces. I am the Glitch!”

4. Psychological Warfare?   As reported in this article on The Street,  United Airlines now denies that there was a glitch or any malfunction.  Instead the airline now casts blame at those who reserved award tickets by calling them scammers.  Does it seem that United is trying out a new PR tactic by repeatedly painting their customers as bad people?

5. Petition Jeff!  Someone has begun a petition on Change.Org to ask United’s CEO, Jeff Smisek to “Honor the tickets.”

All in all, not much has happened….
