I'm at MCI (delivered a luncheon speech in KC today) awaiting a 1.5 hour delayed flight to CLE on way to CMH where I'm speaking tomorrow. PmUA is in Terminal A. PmCO is in C. When I asked about possible alternatives to CMH due to the delay I got the "we really aren't able to put you on 'their' flight, they are in a different terminal" story.

What decade do they expect the "merger" to be complete?
On Friday, a gate agent was trying to re-open a flight on MX for a few of us late arriving passengers. She couldn't do it until one of her colleagues, looking over her shoulder told her that it was CO plane. Apparently, SHARES has distinct flight opening sequences for CO and UA planes. She was confused because the flight had a UA flight number, but was a CO 737.
