It is my personal hope that the Box continues its glorious reign through whatever becomes of the merger and the :rolleyes: thereunto pertaining.

I need a nudge: should I fly CO/US/UA with a connection SAT-LAX to my West coast gareway for my Summer trip (which is all in J or F)? Or, take the direct UA flight in Y? I thought that the seat would be all that matters, but now I am looking at the connections, adding 3++ hours onto travel time, not to mention backtracking to/fro IAH, and I think that I might need to bite the bullet and fly direct, shorter in UA Y....?!?!

Oh yeah, because that is clearly the largest technical hurdle to overcome in this merger attempt. :rolleyes:
