I'm actually interested to see what happens in SFO with this merger-- AA to T2 and CO (leftovers) to T3?
I remember (or at least I think I remember) the days of the 1-daily PDX-RNO. Seems like then PDX stopped being a focus city, and with the demise of QQ, the RNO has the same route network it did in the early 1990's, i.e., flights to SFO, DEN, and 1-daily LAX.
I'm less concerned with SWU/UDU/1K/CR1/UFC/E+ since I think those are the parts of UA that are making it competitive. I'd be really amazed if there were drastic changes to these programs in the next 3-5 years.
