Alistair,
AA is not that bad mate. As far as I am concerned both airlines have a
lot they need to change, and that is obvious by their position. The both offer
decent international service, with Y being much better on AA because of More
Room. Neither one provides LH, SR/LX or BA type service, but both have PTVs
on trans atlantic and the same food. One really cool thing about UA is channel
9, but otherwise, they are similar airlines. Baha, who I have great respect
for, is a big UA guy, so he is a bit biased, but I know people who feel the
same way in the other direction, so don't worry

Oh no, Baha - why didn't this topic come up a few days ago!
Next month I'm working in Houston for two months so, just booked AA on GLA
(Glasgow)-ORD-IAH, HOU-DFW-LGW-GLA mainly because it was the chance to fly
in/out of O'Hare (although the circuitous routing was also a bonus). With
ORD being one the world's absolute top airports I would like to have been
there at least once.
United connecting through Heathrow/Dulles just didn't cut it... although if
AA is that bad, I'm having second thoughts...
