The wifi is vital and I do not understand why UA/CO has been so slow to remedy this.
I also do not understand why a single FA seems to do the meal service on sCO 752's for TATL flights (or at least did when I flew EWR-CPH a few months ago) yet they have two FAs up front for domestic flights. Finishing the meal service quickly on an eastbound TATL is vital to getting as much sleep as possible (particularly with the miserable ~6PM EST departure window for many of those planes on the once daily thin routes).

Agreed. I've had order 15 flights on the New United in the past 2 months. I've had one on-time arrival, a number of flights that were delayed for >1 hour, and one "spend 16 hours at SFO because your SFO-JFK redeye got cancelled after two mechanicals at 4:30AM."
I've had IRROPS in the form of severely delayed flights and misconnections on AA (due to weather, not mechanicals) this year and above all, AA has gotten me home in a reasonably timely fashion (e.g., first flight out, not merely first flight available).

On daytime flights, the only interesting bit to p.s. F for me is the IFL... and even that's a crapshoot. It took me 5 minutes to convince the dragon at SFO 3 weeks ago to let me in because I was flying p.s. F to JFK.
