BAHA, See here we have it... the p*%sing contest. More Legroom may not be on their A300s or 757, but where is it on ANY of the UA fleet??? Oh wait... I think you have to pay extra to get it... hummmm... You'd fly LH over BA, well I'd fly BA over LA... so what? AA is replacing their MD-80s with 737-800s. Personally I like the MD-80 better. Much quieter, esp in 1st. The AAdvantage Plan has also been rated as the best... it all depends on who writes what, for whom and what they want. This "ABC airline is better than XYZ airline" stuff is pretty subjective. Well untied.com may not be employees (I've seen no proof either way), but where's the anti-AA site? One reason I won't fly UA is because they don't have non-stops to where I go often; except for DEN, but I have F9 and AS for that. Clay-SEA Fan of AA's SEA-JFK and SEA-LHR non-stops. -----Original Message----- From: Bahadir Acuner [mailto:bahadiracuner@xxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 7:36 PM Subject: Re: AA take over UA? Clay, More room in coach is not on A300s and B757s. Newer fleet? What newer fleet? Those Md80s? They are the oldest ones in the fleet. Yes, they have 737-800s but you know Airbus A320 series of United are new too.. Alliance with BA? I would always fly LH over BA. Mileage Plus has been selected the best mileage program for god knows how long. Untied.com is NOT by United employees.

And here's for AA: -More legroom in coach -More flights -Newer fleet -Alliance with British Airways -Better mileage plan (faster accruing) (Oh btw, I've never had to pay for headsets on AA) Here's a link of *UA EMPLOYEES* talking about their airline: http://www.untied.com/ Everyone's got their reasons for liking one airline over another. Trying to pursuade people is much like a p%*sing contest.

Yes, Everyone knows that I am biased in favor of UA. My main reasons are : - Ch. 9 - Star Alliance with Lufthansa (I can take them all the way to IST) - Economy Plus (I am a big UA fan, if you know what I mean) - Airbus equipment - Free headsets in coach If you'd like to follow the thread here's the topic from Flyertalk.com on why people like UA: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3D3D349828 BAHA Fan of my weekly commutes on United
