Clearly!

DL / NW / US\HP - have all become large network carrier operating on the terms of a LCC - that makes them very different from other airlines.

AA - is one of the few remaining legacies who had more the MOST PART remained some what full service - although removing pillows and BOB isnt exactly a legacy carrier ideal.

UA - is sort of stuck somewhere - they have an innovated product - but cant seem to figure out which direction they want persue! the hav P.S. Service and E+, but at the same time run Ted.

CO - (pardon my basis) still has pillows and blankets available always, serves "meals" at meal times (leaving the defintion of a meal open here), has a expansive route network, and First Class and a decent business class.

While it is true you get a bad apple everywhere, I find Continental stands apart (with AA second to them), in thier presentation, produvt delivery, ans product offering
