also if you put in JFK-LHR not 1 VS flight will appear on ua.com, which isnt the if you book it on co.com
CO is one half of the merged airline going forward. CO has existing airline partnerships that the old UA didn't have, and the old UA had some that CO didn't have. It's a perfectly valid question. However, we do not know the answer yet.

So it's not really a question of whether CO will be allowed to keep the partnership, more whether the management of the new merged airline see value in this partner airline.
