From the facts in that article, this is based entirely on CO's old BF.

If the CO fanboys are going to keep going on and on, at least they should do it on CO's merits immediately preceding the merger, not the CO circa 2006 they wish would come back from the dead.

By the way, I am not saying this as some sort of UA apologist. I think UA was the superior airline in virtually all respects, but unlike CO apologists, I am willing to admit there were some things (but only a few) that CO did better, like BF food. I have yet to see any CO lovers admit anything but a deep hatred for UA and any admission that UA was better at anything.
