I'll say it again, "The bottom line is that, if it has a UA flight number on it, it should be treated as a UA flight for ALL purposes." If they're not willing to do that, it shouldn't have a UA flight number on it.</font>
I agree completely, and will add that I think they should also have cabin crew speaking the local language of the carrier. Someone booking, for example, a TG flight operated by UA has the right to expect cabin crew speaking Thai, since that may well have been one of the reason's they choose to fly TG.
