Have a guess as to how they'll settle out in the future? Going forward, do we suppose that we'll be able anticipate which plane - and especially which premium cabin - we'll get by remembering which routes were PMUA and which PMCO? Otherwise, it'll be potluck as to which configuration - UA three-class or CO Business/First two-class, UA's Business flat-bed or CO's Business/First seat etc. - flies where, and not just as to the 767. I suppose most, if not all, near-TATL flights will be 757s with CO's Business/First. But which former airline's flatbed seat will be on the wide-body you get, longer haul?

This is one of the two features in the current OnePass Statement E-mail:

As this comes into focus, I suggest that the answer will become more and more important as it defines the long journeys for many of us.
