So I live in the metro NYC area, and have yet to see this commercial since it supposedly had a (regional) launch 4 weeks ago...anyone else seen it recently? Wonder if it got yanked...

Update: it came on again, just now. Apparently they're targeting House Hunters watchers

Here are photos from a PS business flight in January 2005.

How is this different than what we see today in business class?
In fact, that large size main was downsized by PMUA, and made larger after 3/3/12.
All I can gather is we don't have a 'specialty cocktail' listed on the menu, and no pre-arrival snack. But we're getting a lie flat seat and real personal entertainment screens. Crews are the same.
I say all of this as a critic as well. In fact, recently wrote to senior management about the need to mystery shop Delta on these routes, as they do a much better job than United or AA. And a better job than United PS business circa 2005.

I saw it last week during the NBC 11pm news. There is a large billboard near SFO advertising p.s. service as well.

I've seen it, live in NYC. United also has a bunch of ads at the bus stops in NYC that say "You can still find seats in this city - Rated #1 best seat availability for award travel", or something to that effect. They are plastered throughout the West Village.

Today, I learned about the following new television advertisement from BA:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1M0p...ature=youtu.be
In their own words: "Our latest TV advert illustrates how we've been investing to make your journey better."
Thought it might be interesting to have a conversation in which we compare and contrast this campaign with recent UA advertising and marketing materials.
Key points:
To pioneer.
To engineer.
To innovate.
To imagine.
To Fly.
To Serve.
Today.
Tomorrow.
How does this compare and contrast with the talking points that UA is offering?
