I reluctantly called our company's United rep today whom has been trying really hard to get us to switch, and she told me their phones are ringing all day with similar corporate customers like me... Before I explained why I called, she said oh Delta cancelled HKG and you are considering switching... She start of on a list of things they would do like matching my Diamond with 1K and match 360 with Global Services... She then went on what sounded like a rehearsed script of all the direct flight United has out of SFO... United's direct Chinese cities alone is longer than entire Delta's Asia network
Man, this happened faster than I expected...
