I have heard good things about CO domestic F and about the CO employees as well.
How do I go about getting a status match? Do I just call CO and fax over some UA statements?
One more issue: Yes, CO Y pitch is the pits (same as UA E-) but it can also be virtually impossible to upgrade to FC, so many plats on very expensive fares are constantly sitting in CO's E-; do you really want to subject yourself to that misery?
