COdbaUA < sCO (I don't really care that much about E+ as others do, and I understand getting to keep atleast some RPUs etc).

COdbaUA < sUA by about 15 miles.

So, I think that most of the criticism coming from sUA flyers is that the NEW combined airline is worse in many ways than the old sCO --- the domestic F service cuts being a good example
+1. Continental treated all elites pretty much the same. As a long time 1K I always felt really well taken care of by PMUA. COdbaUA has dumbed down my status in terms of boarding, upgrades, compensation and particularly handling of IRROPS.
