I love how everyone is having a civil discussion about this matter without any mud slinging back and forth. ^

Hopefully CO's high aircraft interior standards will translate over (though I read on skynet that ual has a new initiative to combat this blatantly obvious problem). Wouldn't be very fond if the merged entity decided to get rid of economy plus or the 3-classes of service on international longhuals. I'd think the large world financial centers that UAL competes in wouldn't support such a change. Flying into LHR, HKG, NRT, and FRA with two classes of service? Doesn't sound like it would work. And plus, I'm sure a lot of you Continental people would like those new first/business beds
