Today is a dark and stormy day in Chicago, and I am leaving on a United flight for FLL this afternoon, so I am checking United's website (and waiting for email/cell phone updates) for flight update information. Trouble is that United's info just doesn't seem helpful.

For example, as of now (2pm. EST), Flight 1516 is showing a scheduled AND estimated departure time of 1:15 pm, even though nearly an hour has passed since 1:15. What gives?? Shouldn't UA at least update the "Estimated" information?
