My two wishes:
(1) Gradually restore DTW-Shanghai/Beijing nonstop flights, even if only for twice a week. Life is hard for us in Boston going to China which requires layovers in Detroit and Tokyo. UA has nonstop service to Shanghai and Beijing.
(2) Dump that "evil" airline (DL) from the alliance, or at least resist Uncle Leo's idea to match DL/CO's EQM scheme. You are at least smart enough at this point not to follow suit. See how many CO elites you have been getting? I guess you are smiling?
