Several things trouble me about the UA CO codesharing and move to *A

Most all *A members only offer MAX of 100% EQM's even in F or Biz, all ST members offer 150% EQM's for Biz and even full fare Y.

UA considers an upgrade as a move to E+ so if the is UG Repro will CO PE's be fighting UA 1K for F seats, while CO PE's settle for E+ on UA?

UA RC lounge doesn't offer half what PC, WC or CRC lounges offer wifi, drinks and more substantial breakfast items for example.

EQM's on UA are never less than 100%.

If CO does require 1K, I'll reconsider again moving back to DL.

There are lot of issues with this change, and I think it's a pity that CO hasn't really communicated much about their plans. Though it does seem with the bill introduced by James Oberstar indicates the move won't be a slam-dunk, and CO is just nervous to communicate anything before the plan is approved by the Feds.
