The flight is not cancelled and does show up on the US Airways website: http://flights.usairways.com/FlightStat ... 2012-06-16 Any idea what is going on? A customer sent me a complaint about it.

One thing you might not know is that flight numbers used for passengers are not always the same as used for ATC purposes. Example: A passenger may be booked on UAL1234 but the flight plan shows UAL432P.

On Friday, when you looked, AWE6215 did not operate. On Saturday, it's UAL758 KLGA-KDEN-KLAS. Sunday it did not operate. Today it's UAL1429 KDEN-KSFO.
