Proposal: United/Continental should be merge the thread?
Hi All,
I am already heard the news came in yesterday afternoon. DOJ has been approvals with UA/CO is mergers. Can you guys need to have any suggestions for me to be merges with UA/CO. So it was sad days for me yesterday and can you have proposal for Continental/United will be merge the original thread. I wasn't aware of UA/CO is long awaited to be mergers for after 79 years flying. Lets try to have more opportunity to be merge the original thread. So let's the speculating about this one.
Regards

Aren't there enough FT precedents in recent years with HP/US and NW/DL that the two forums will remain separate until the FFP's are merged so what's different with UA/CO? While I haven't been following the merger play-by-play AFAIK they aren't quite at the FFP merger stage yet and when that's announced the merger of the FT forums can follow in good time.

With UA being such a large forum already, personally I would prefer to see UA and CO forums NOT be merged and certainly NOT merged early before all is completed with the merger. I would also prefer that the airlines NOT merge either 
. But that's just me

I think we need to see how the merger goes.
My previous position has been no merger until the frequent flyer programme is merged, and although I was outvoted on this recently it remains my position.

I agree with you, too. I think it will perfect for me to merge the thread and I vote to says yes to merge this thread immediately. Let's the speculating about this one. However, lets wait to see if UA/CO members will decide to approval. This is particular consideration for UA/CO members will have to decide to says YES to merge this thread.

agreed on not merging but perhaps a master forum with both fourms listed separately inside so they are "both in the same place"?

I can't see why FT could, would or should consider not merging UA & CO when the FFP themselves merger simply because the UA is one of the larger & more active FT fora.

I think it should considering to merge the thread and do yourselves to voting the Talkboards will have more comfortable on CO/UA forums. I wasn't curious about entire forums will kept separately or merge this thread.

I do not see a reason to merge before the two FF programs are officially merged. Also UAL is too large to merge with CO before then.
