. UA has half-assed branding, livery, product, just about everything. Those CO 737s should be painted in UA's livery, the clubs should be Red Carpet Clubs, and E+ and F should be expanded to the rest of the CO fleet.
Which one? Grey Malevolent Skies livery, perhaps?

Citing UA as a model of consistent branding when it was taking them seven years and counting to repaint their planes, and it was taking them years to roll out their International First/Business product (including a delay during the '08-'09 period)... well, that's a good one.

I realize that Jeff Smisek has run over your dog, and then backed up and ran over it some more, among his many sins, but can we try not to whitewash history 1984-style in the process of finding fault with everything that's happened since 10/1?

Also, a little historical perspective...
