There is a hugh difference between being negative and posting negative information. I am of the opinion that most people are posting the latter (i.e. personal flight data and their theories as to what is occuring, which I find useful). And the fact that the information is negative is due to CO.

The issue people have with CO appears to be an expectation of service based on express or implied promises made by CO that are recently being unfulfilled.

This is exacerbated by the fact that the consumers are currently uninformed by CO about the facts and rationale for the changes that are resulting in the unfulfilled expectations. We are left to speculate, which is human nature.

I have stayed out of this EUA discussion for the past few days, but I am deeply concerned. As I have stated previously, I buy my tickets in advance in blocks to obtain the lowest fare class for my weekly travels. My current block is due for an additional purchase in mid-April. If the situation does not change, or at least if we are not given the courtesy of explaination from CO (don't they EVER post here?), I AM OUT OF HERE by mid-April.

My new airline of choice...........?

Jet Blue. One reason is practical: they are one of the few to fly my route non-stop at a reasonable price.

Another reason is symbolic: Jet Blue can not break a FC upgrade promise to me, as they have no FC. I have wasted too much time chasing the elusive FC upgrade on CO. At first it was fun, but that stopped when the rules repeatedly were changed without the courtesy of an explaination of what the heck is now going on. I would rather be 0 for 104 on Jet Blue than 36 for 104 on CO and feel duped.

A couple of questions: The Jet Blue seats seem to have more leg room and width than the CO coach seats. Is this true?

Does anyone know of another non-stop carrier between MCO and EWR besides Jet Blue and CO? Thank you.
