Now that they've merged, the color of the carpet doesn't matter, nor does the name of the lounge, or the colors of the livery... Sure, it's nice to keep tradition, but what's more important are the hard facts, such as E+, boarding... (I'm not getting into that discussion again of which boarding scheme is better.) The point I'm trying to make is that there are certain things that aren't worth fighting as much. Something tells me if Tilton was remaining and Smisek was leaving, the carpet would stay red, "purser" would remain, etc. And I wouldn't have cared
