I beg to differ.. Since when were 215 transcon fares not competitive? Continental fares are a little bit more, but then again it's safe to say they give you alittle more...
-Meals at meal times (try getting a hot sandwich meal on SWA transcon, where sometimes they cost more than CO)
-Pillows and Blankets (AA removed them from the MD80 fleet)
-Unlimited FC upgrades for Elites (we can argue this, but there are other airlines that dont even offer such an option)
-Lax carry on Policy... (those UA carryon sizers at DCA and DEN are hostile)
