Scheduling a ride in the future

I use Uber often. But, when I travel, I want to be picked up on time to make my early morning flight.
Right now Im in Boston, just after the blizzard, and I have to get to the airport early.

Uber lets me schedule a pickup with the disclaimer the theres no guarantee a driver will pick me up.

I find it disconcerting that my iPhone AP doesnt show me that I have a request scheduled.

Taxi companies Apps let you know youre on the schedule. It wouldnt be hard for Uber to confirm that there is a request pending.

I worry about backup plan anyway. It doesnt seem like much to be able to check that my request was received and Im on the list.
