Or that they will be. There are some occasional benefits to them as well. A CO metal flight gets all the CO rules, even if it is UA coded which can have its benefits.

FWIW, I managed to apply CO's SDC rules to a CO-issued, CO-coded, UA operated segment last week but it took a little bit of work to make it happen, including UA off-loading me from the flight and the CO agents taking back control of the ticket. But I got home early, which is what I really wanted.
