My issue with the merger is that CO will be the dominant partner and I assume we'll lose Mileage Plus to 'nOnePass'. Their international upgrades are of concern especially their stingy upgrade availability and huge co-pays:

BusinessFirst Select Economy Fares Upgrade Policy: Members who purchase fares other than Y or H* can pay a non-refundable service fee in addition to the miles in order to upgrade to BusinessFirst. Members will only be charged the service fee when the BusinessFirst upgrade has been cleared.

Service fees cannot be applied to future travel and are subject to change without notice.

Fare Class / One Way Service Fee
Y $0
H $0*
K/M $200
N $300
B $350
O (if applicable) $350
V $400
U $400
All other fares $450

* $200 for flights to/from Hawaii
