There just aren't enough Triple Sevens to run a third EWR-TLV, an EWR-LOS (if it's going to be a 777 as rumored), EWR-PEK, and EWR-PVG if all rights are acquired.

I'd love to see CO get their hands on some more widebodies between now and the deliveries of the 787, but I doubt that'll happen.

That said, I'd also like to see increased functionality online with regard to mileage upgrades and class availability.

Booking by class would be excellent.

Also, I would like to see similar systems to UA's EasyInfo and DL's screens, perhaps not getting as personal as DL, but the information presented on these displays are valuable and may save agents the chore of answering a lot of routine passenger questions at the podium before the flights. Something like this would be great at the hubs.

I'd like to see power ports on domestic FC, at least 757s in the BF configuration. If they want us to use the JetConnect, they should at least ensure that we can keep our computers powered up!

If I were going to Houston, I'd like to ask if there was a demonstrated benefit over time for cutting out F seats on the 735 and 753, and if introducing 222-seat 757-300s to replace 186-seat 757-200s on domestic routes in an industry at times plagued with overcapacity is a good idea?

I'd also like to get Larry's handle on the situation with the pilots, it seems that many are becoming more than a little disgruntled with some of management's latest moves, if he's up to answering such questions. Hopefully someone will bring this up, at least privately and casually, so as not to put him on the spot.
