Given some previous debate there's a danger the media are going to start muddying the waters with the general public again with the likes of the above because to many "staff travel" means airline staff not working and off on holiday or "commuting" to/from work. The UK's Guardian is carrying similar saying "off duty" staff will have to be confirmed.
I'm assuming the actual process UA are introducing now is that Duty staff will be confirmed an hour out. TBH I'm surprised UA haven't been at least blocking seats for "must travel" staff an hour out or more before this incident - if not they've been holding themselves hostage to fortune.
