My worst experiences with CO have been TransCon, where I found the F/A's often grumpy and occasionally downright mean.

I have not been a major CO frequent flyer for years, but I still fly CO for value and convenience. For me, that translates usually into RJ flights out of EWR (technically that's not even on CO) to places such as YQB and GSP, but I lso fly a fair amount of paid BF TATL.

My issues with CO are the cramped coach cabin and its brutally uncomfortable seats, and the almost always theatrically dreadful performance of the airline anytime something goes wrong, especially with the outrageously unresponsive WeCare department....
I won't fly TPAC BF till a couple months, but this surely doesn't match my TATL (EWR based) BF flight experience either.

I personally like the american style more hands off service, than the intensive questioning kind of the asian carriers(just a preference I know others like the other just fine!)
