Some FAs will never accept the merger. These are generally the worst FAs in the system.

From the tiny bit of background, I would guess somewhere near either ticket counters or baggage claim. (Not sure which airline's, though; I don't know where in SJC CO would have been.)

Strange that 2124 gave you the multi-segment message; did you click 'See All Segments'?

With 2124, they were showing it as the inbound aircraft from EWR for a flight SFO/IAH on Friday, but on Thursday the aircraft was allocated to EWR/CLE, so I chalked it up to another UA IT mess. Then I happened to click on the Back button a couple of times ending up with what I showed.

Later I was able to reproduce this with another flight -- I think they've got some sort of bug when you use the back key (I'm using Chrome).

Then again, I saw another thread today about SHARES 50th, so (cue the conspiracy music), not a coincidence?

I am sure this has been discussed many times here but I noticed it just now. Today I bought a ticket from UA.com and paid with Paypal. The Paypal receipt says that the merchant's email address is [email protected]

Last week I had an Air Wisconsin FA (IAD-GSP) welcome us aboard "American Eagle, operated by Air Wisconsin" with "American flight XXX" to Greenville -- you repeat the same thing over and over again for enough years and I can't really blame them for slipping into an old routine when distracted or stressed.

Once again, I’m incredulous that someone hasn’t run a program to scan every line of code looking for “Continental”. Really it isn’t hard.

A deadheading crewmember boarded my flight this week with a "Continental Airlines--Crew" luggage tag on her rollaboard.

How long did it take to purge Eastern, PEOPLExpress or PanAm references?

Spotted at the National Press Club in DC. Photo was signed just a couple months before his departure and amid the PA investigation.

Noticed an old CO 777 "Max" livery picture as the background of one of the agent terminals at the MCO UC.
