As to your question, I have no idea!
Well, maybe the OP has had more interesting content in those 20k posts than what you said
OK I'm just razzin' ya... But personally I think it's great that even those who are on FT a lot are still asking questions and giving everyone a chance to weigh in.

Thanks. That is an interesting perspective. On the little things it is a major slam dunk for AA. As an example, I had a delayed flight at LGA that would strand me at my connection site and the AC staff rebooked me out of JFK and called a limo service to take me there. Lots of other examples as well. I need to cogitate on that a bit. Also, UA really doesn't provide much service out of NYC in my opinion. The CO merger changes that but I have to decide how much. For instance it takes me an extra day basically to get to London on UA since I have to take mainly horrible service to IAD and connect. Ah, decisions....
You are welcome. I am just thinking that if one uses more than one company to get a product or service and they wish to rethink the use or adjust to whom they give their loyalty, the consideration of things like the ones you brought up should weigh in.
I have had good and bad experiences on each of the major airlines, and yet the conveniences or nuances weigh in the most. For example, last night at BOS I picked up someone at United and wanted to help grab their luggage. While this shouldn't be a big thing, the carts there are available for $3 while the same type of cart is available in other terminals and other airline baggage claims at the same airport for nothing. Expand this type of 'experience' to something worth say, $30 or $300 and now you're talking. Or, that limo service you mentioned... and on and on.
Oh so much to consider...
I know you will make your decision wisely and triangles may not even factor into it, even if your name were Shirley.
