1 example only: Wouldn't be great if United/USAirways/Continental all found a way to be in the same terminal in BOS ? Soon you will have A/B/C in play for *A domestic carriers...
Cheers.
Well, it's interesting that US and UA managements tend to "get along," but there's been very little interaction between US and CO management -- even though they're about to now become Star Alliance partners. Even though both airlines are filled with beancounters who you'd think might see eye-to-eye, there seems to be some lingering bad blood. And it goes pretty far back to Gordon Bethune publicly (and erroneously) predicting that America West would go broke, to CO throwing America West out of the OnePass program immediately after Parker "rationalized" America West's fares. But now that there's going to be a new CEO at CO, maybe US and CO can talk about matters of mutual self-interest. Certainly Dividend Miles members would welcome an expanded relationship between the two carriers.
