I read through this entire thread. With the exception of one apologist post that weirdly blames KVS for this situation, there is unanimity of opposition. I've never seen such unanimity on FT. But it doesn't matter, more "changes that I think you'll like" lay ahead. After all, in many places UA is effectively a monopoly and doesn't have to play fair.

The right action would be an anti-trust lawsuit by the government. Won't happen, but we can write and ask for it.
Agreed. Airline mergers are never good to the consumers. Is anyone still cheering for CO/UA merger?

I am wondering about Freedom of Info Act.

Can US Congress pass a law requiring airlines to disclose fare info before selling tickets?
