Well, having failed to keep the United Shuttle above water following 9/11, do they really think that having a dumb name will get people to quickly forget how much people really disliked flying that effort?Having had many a bad experience flying the United Shuttle from Oakland to LAX myself, I can tell you that I won't be rushing to see if they learned anything from past experiences. Having moved to Portland, I am now a dedicated Alaska/Horizon Air customer. Far friendlier service than I ever got on United, cleaner, more comfortable planes, and a free beer in the afternoon on Horzon flights (the Q-400 is a beast - what a great airplane!). Bye Ted. Good luck.

I think I would stay clear of UA for a while. Here's a interesting article out of the Denver Post.http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,3...1767933,00.htmlJay
