I'm always dubious of opinions when the first sentence of a respected publication (usatoday :roll: ) contains grammatical errors. Nonetheless it's a well written and interesting piece.

My biggest beef is with the observatoin that United has no definable brand. To me their brand is clear;

Old FA's, average A/C, decent on-time performance BUT

BIW award redemption; generous Y accrual; and frequent bonuses, promotions and specials. For moi, their brand image is respectable, eventhough I have certain qualms about particular instances.

Personally, with a charasmatic and effective leader, I believe United has a good chance.
