channa, you have made your points clear...over and over and over. I certainly can't speak for all CO plats, but we have said many times we get it, we understand, and to please give it time for the merger to complete so we can all evaluate the finished product together.

However, for you to suggest that the "CO defenders' behavior as been the most divisive on this board" is completely and utterly ridiculous, whiney, and very self-serving. What a joke! We are simply laughing at the toddler in the corner, hoping their parents show up soon.

You have a voice of knowledge and for the most part, reason, and have certainly made many good points. However, remember when I accused you of recruiuting your "cronies"? Well that was simply in reference to some of the goofballs that have jumped on your bandwagon and complained about anything and everything without anything substantial to back it up. I'm the first to admit I laugh and make fun of those guys every time. Having a bad day are we?

You know my feeling, since I just never seem to have any of those issues, or always just seem to get them resolved easily enough...it pays to be...nice!
I always have to assume that most PM UAers are already pissed when they get to the airport, so it's just downhill from there, looking for anything they can possibly complain about, hoping they'll find something to post later on FT

You're playing into my point exactly.

Why does one have to wait until the merger is over if we see things trending negatively? This is the time to voice those concerns so that they can be heard and the path adjusted while things are not finalized. Look to the boarding process as a perfect example -- they reversed course on the stupidity.

And comments like "laughing at the toddler" or comparing people to crying children? And then suggesting that an entire customer base is rude (or not nice)? That's exactly the sort of divisive behavior I was referring to.

I say the PMCOers could be more compassionate and understanding, and you tell me you get it. Then in the next breath you accuse me of recruiting "cronies," refer to us as goofballs, and saying there's no substance behind the complaints raised.

I fully recognize the culture on the CO board historically was to rally around CO and squash items that don't put CO in a positive light. The UA board was a good bit more vocal. But despite your assertions of "getting it," you apparently don't, and you continue to fail to respect that different customer contingents have different background and as a result expectations.
