CO-UA forum integration plans
I am curious about the integration plans for the UA and CO forums.
Not so much the large body of existing threads, but there are a number of threads that have continued relevance and would benefit from exposure in the consolidated forum.
My leading examples (and there are no doubt many others):
The various threads on "where to sit on XXX plane". Many are in the parent forum, but some are in the subforums:
Example: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...it-crj700.html
It would be useful to have all such threads, for both pmUA and pmCO aircraft in the main forum.

There's something going on I don't understand. The ongoing threads in the permerger forums relate almost entirely to ongoing merged airline issues... where to sit on 777s, where to clear customs, etc.
Can any of the mods explain what is the deal?

The planes are still different - FAs and pilots are not merged. Hence two forums for now.
I'm okay with this as well - though UnitedFAQ needs to start populating that thread.

My view is that threads relating to post-merger operations should generally be in the consolidated forum, even if they were started before the merger. If it relates purely to a pre-merger issue (i.e., many, many old threads) there is no need to move them.
the mods could even do this on an ad hoc basis - if there's a new post in an old pre-merger thread, move it to the consolidate forum (assuming it relates to current operations).

Sure, but some of the threads are in the merged forum (777Q) and some are not. If there's any possibility of confusion, the thread can be (re)named (e.g.) "Where to Sit on a pmUA 77Q"
