Reserved plane from UM suddenly unavailable

Hi everybody,

I waited for it to happen some more times before reporting, as I wanted to be sure it was not a mistake of mine (some page reloaded or whatever), but...
This is at least 4 times (probably more) in GW#2 that I reserve a plane on the UM and then go to check my money, sometimes take a loan, etc. And when I come back and click "confirm", it says that the plane is already reserved by another airline! >:(
And no, the countdown wasn't finished when I clicked "confirm". Indeed, it even said "1.4 minutes remaining" the last time it happened.

Could be a consequence of the really tense UM in GW#2, and if 2 airlines click "buy aircraft" at the exact same time, both gets a message for an active reservation but only one has an effective reservation, but it still seams like a bug...

Did any of you experienced it too?

Thanks,

Arthur

Yes, but only one time. Has to be a bug.

I reserved it, and then went back to look when are c and d checks. Went back to lease it after some seconds and it was already gone. Someone was really quick.

I've not seen this, but I generally keep the reservation window open in my browser, then open another tab and do the loan etc in that new window whilst keeping UM window open.

This.

And don't try to reserve another plane at the same time, either.....

If you leave the "reserved" page in the same window/tab, the reservation is cancelled. If you reserve a different plane in another window/tab, the first reservation is cancelled.

Also, you should never EVER use the "back" button in AWS. You will get erratic results and possibly do something you didn't intend.

Probably that one, as for the other one I always use a different tab.
Thanks to you all (unpleasant to discover this, but really great to have a supporting community).
Good luck in all your GWs.
