Within the UA/CO system, no, I'm not. For the same reasons that JFK has more premium traffic for AA and DL than their EWR operations.

It's a simple phenomenon of the hub-spoke system. UA/CO gets more paid premium traffic ex-EWR for NYC airports because of the connections to their "heavy" flights.

There are, of course (I'm sure) a good number of folks who connect from PS over to :-: flights, but it's kind of weird to fly from LAX / SFO to JFK to fly to EU, Asia, and South America when there are so many other options.

Not, at all, suggesting NYC // LAX + SFO o/d traffic doesn't support a ps type of product. I'm simply suggesting that UA should consider consolidating their premium product out of one airport (EWR) and leave LGA as the 'convenient' alternative to Manhattan for domestic hub flights. I'm my humble opinion the operations at JFK are an outlier to the greater system as a whole.

Of course I could be completely wrong with my analysis and I'd trust that the UA folks will crunch the numbers and make the appropriate decisions.

And, as an aside, I'd really like to see UA make a significant infrastructure investment in EWR with a true premium passenger experience (not this marketing gobbledygook gook they currently have), which could support their overseas operations and premium long-haul domestic traffic.
