Anyone think it might be nice to have a consolidated timeline thread covering when different aspects of the merger will be complete? I just read the info about "Sky Clubs" and the pasted article mentions several of the other integration goals. Wondering if we have soft or hard dates on other changes like uniforms, on-board catering (both upfront and in the back)...etc.

OK, editing to keep a list...I'll try to update this as people post...or every couple of days:
