Well, I'm shocked that you expected anything from a "Virtual Travel Assistant", but then I realized that unitedhub.com has URL="http://hub.united.com/News/Web/Pages/ask-alex-for-help-with-your-search.aspx"]an entire page dedicated to how useful Ask Alex will be throughout the merger[/URL].

Nonetheless, I am pretty sure you'll have more luck with cleverbot.com than Ask Alex. I certainly did:
User: When will Star Alliance Upgrades be available?

Cleverbot: Idk but whats the worst song you know?

User: How do you feel about the United and Continental Airlines merger?

Cleverbot: Fine. And you?

User: Frustrated. My upgrades never seem to come through.

Cleverbot: So who are kimberly and emily?

User: I have no idea.

Cleverbot: Me either.

User: When will my miles post to my account?

Cleverbot: Five years from now when you respond to this text I'm typing.

User: Alright. I wish I could get through to the UA 1K desk.

Cleverbot: Haha, really? Wow. My dad just came in. I'm supposed to be sleeping so yeah haha.
Yeah, that proves it. I really think Cleverbot is much better than Alex.
