I'm seeing my miles post fine since 3/3. Actually haven't had any major issues apart from ostensibly weather related delays. I say ostensibly, because in one case the pilot made a point of blaming UA and computer systems. On that flight we even waited just outside our gate for about 15 minutes because the guides hadn't shown up, and eventually we went ahead without the two extra CO-style guides at the wings because we got fed up of waiting. You know the ones - that have no impact on safety but apparently make things look safer.

Talked to a couple of gate agents today, after I arrived in the nick of time to catch an earlier flight to my destination at SFO. What was an easy switch at the gate with fastair took a couple of minutes more with SHARES. But the agent knew what he was doing and handled it fine. When I talked to him and his co-worker though, they were far from impressed, but they were keeping positive and they handled this flight very well.

One thing i have noticed on all my flights so far since PSS - the amount of time we spend on board *after* boarding and *before* closing the doors has gone up an order of magnitude. And on two out of five segments we've wound up leaving with at least one F seat empty with people on the upgrade list. Surely this is not how every single CO flight is run? That's just hard to comprehend.
