It probably should be folded into United sooner rather than later.

So here's my question: Does the United forum get merged with this one, or is it the other way around? Do our mods get to run the new forum, while the UA mods over see it for a year, a-la Tilton and Smisek? Do I get bumped down in status because I don't have 4k+ posts in the new forum?
Plus, the main question is, when does the B
x get shut down???

How about October 12 when meals are deleted on most flights and we become more like United.

A good indication of what will happen would be the US and DL forums.

More importantly, UAL people are not familiar with Teh Penalty Box. For that matter, neither am I. Cova tried to explain it to me once.

Probably not until CO and UA operate under a single carry designation - which is likely late 2011. ie - when the CO goes away.

In order to fully appreciate Teh Penalty Box one has to read it from the beginning. Actually, that is the first rule of Teh Penalty Box.

We shouldn't cross streams...
Just keep them separate.

The CO forum will live on in our hearts, and the brick will continue to call us late at night and whisper sweet nothings into our ears.
