Air Micronesia
 

I just booked plane tickets from MNL to GUM, and during the booking and in the reservations, it always shows "Operated By United Airlines for Air Micronesia". What are the implications of this? Am I entitled to *A gold benefits on this flight or can I earn *A partner miles with this flight? Flight number still says UA, so it is odd to me why the website always has this note on this flight while the other MNL-GUM flight does not.

Air Micronesia was a division of Continental. It has been folded in and operates under the same :pperating certificate that UA operates under. You will effectively be flying on United and you will get all of your *A miles & benefits.

Wasn't Continental Micronesia supposed to have completely gone away this past April?

Probably. But don't tell Continental.

From the link "Flight attendants at the subsidiary can begin negotiations to join the joint collective bargaining agreement that former United and former Continental cabin crew ratified in August 2016,"

I recently flew the Island Hopper GUM-TKK-PNI-KSA-KWA-MAJ-HNL. What surprised me was the flight attendants stayed on the plane the entire way. I assumed their Flight rules would break up the 15.5 hours journey.

When I asked the FA about this, he mentioned that their agreement is being renegotiated later this year. It appears that the current Air Micronesia contract allows for such long duty times.
