Silver can reserve E+ at time of booking! ^
Sadly a benefit that is going away.

I'm going to say that I love CO's Same-Day Change policy (which is very flexible in actual practice). It almost makes up for the fact they charge change fees to elites, unlike Alaska, which waives change fees for MVP Golds and higher, and has truly revolutionized the way I look at booking travel.
I travel far more and spend far more money with Alaska now that I am not afraid to book a ticket when my plans are not yet firm--other carriers would do well to investigate this, since with them, I just end up not booking and then not traveling at all.
But I digress--my experience with CO's relatively less restrictive SDC policy (in conjunction with other benefits, of course) is enough to make me consider them for future travel. ^

That skirts the line between general program and specific touted "benefit," but it's better to be inclusive I believe -- so I'm adding it unless there are objections 
Thanks jackal.
Thanks jackal.

Flexible Same-Day Change policy
IMO: The Continental process is unmatched.
As a 44 week per year flyer/business traveler, I frequently myself with demand to stay at client an additional day, or having completed work can get home on late Thursday night versus Friday.
The Continental process is extremely user friendly.
As far as I am concerned this process must remain; and is the key component to keep me with UA/CO future state.
