UA has had a long running project to covert to Altea for the last 7 years that was essentially cancled a couple of years ago.

UA will eventualy have to covert to next generation HP/Sabre/or Amadeus solution but i doubt that has been decided what the long term choice will be.
Both CO and UA had previously announced their intentions to migrate to a new reservations platform before the merger was finalized (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/conti...-platform.html). Might not be called StarNet but I believe that's what CJ1120 was talking about.
