I fear that any future redesign will hide all that information in modals/popups or even slower AJAX modals in an attempt to appear sleek and simple.
I find the whole "hatin' up on Alex" amusing in the posts above yours. It's a serach engine for the website, plain and simple. When the window pops up, there is a speaker icon with the words "Sound Off". that works fine, and oddly enough, my modern, ultra high tech, wizz bang PC has this fancy thing called a "mute" button. I suspect it has more to do with being a pmCO feature, than anything else, but let's not digress. The pop-up window displays the text, and offers links, for relevant website information. For those asking an Avatar for a date, or rude suggestions about the airline's CEO....well, enough said.
Agreed on the calendars. Both the AA and DL calendars are weak. To search for Dec 2013, you have to click in the date, and then have to click the arrow 11 times to get to Dec. I have noticed the same thing on several of the travelbooking sites as well. The UA calendar has a dropdown w/ month and year. Much faster
