It probably bears mentioning that I am still at O'Hare at 8:25pm and United has neither canceled this flight nor given us a new takeoff time. This. Is. Hell.
Thursday update: At 9:20pm, United Airlines officially threw in the towel and canceled our 12pm flight. There were no seats on early morning flights to New York, so in addition to losing a day of my life, my business trip is a bust.
