This evening, February 17, 2009, Unimatic home access via AOL has been unavailable for a large number of users. AOL is aware of the problem and is working to fix the issue, and expects to have it resolved in the next several hours.

To allow time for AOL to resolve this issue and provide an opportunity for all Flight Attendants to submit bids, AFA and United have agreed to delay the close of bids. Bids for Primary line awards for the March 2009 schedules have been extended by 24-hours, and will now close at 0800 local domicile time on Thursday, February 19, 2009.

If we hear of anything else, we'll let you know.  In the meantime, the best thing you can do is keep trying to connect via www.gounimatic.com and/or contact the United Help Desk and let them know it's still down.
