Time Change on Sunday

print
Source: Various Reports

Date: Oct 29, 2007

Time chart

The United States reverts to standard time Nov. 4, by turning clocks back one hour. In the European Union, "Summer Time" ends Oct. 28, also by turning clocks back one hour. In addition to the time change, a schedule change in the North America operation occurs Nov.4. All IDs operating through these time and schedule changes will be affected.

Flight attendants are advised to carefully review their actual ID once it becomes "live" and can be accessed in Unimatic via DSPID/ format - not the DPSDSL format. This will ensure they have the most accurate flight departure and arrival times.

Airshow

In addition, the modification to the U.S. time change observance, which occurred this year, has impacted United’s Airshow programming. The Airshow program on some internationally-configured aircraft may display inaccurate arrival times and or time zones during the time change periods. Engineering is working to resolve this problem as quickly as practical.

Other Information

Due to the shift this year in the Daylight Saving Time schedule, United's Information Services Division (ISD) warns there are a small percentage of computers in United's system that may move their internal clocks back one hour on Sunday, October 28, at 2 a.m.

  • ISD recommends that you check your computer on October 28 (or the next working day) to ensure the clock is accurate.
  • If your computer clock or an airport display clock (a monitor or gate backdrop) is inaccurate, please call United's Service Desk at Unitel 700-5800 immediately.
  • While the actual time change occurs on November 4, 2007, system errors could occur as early as October 28, due to the extended Daylight Saving Time period.
