im currently scheduled to fly with us air in first from jfk-phx and then phx-lax. i now see availability in co from lga-iad iad-lax also in first. does it make sense to switch from us first to co first?
CO doesn't fly LGA-IAD or IAD-LAX.  Those are UA routes.

I wasn't on CO yet, although some of my plastic might suggest otherwise...

However, as it can impossibly be worse then US, I'd have to agree to Dan.

CO is known for having the best domestic F.

I've never been impressed with UA F. Which UA F beats CO F?
Especially now that CO has free direct TV and movies in F.

 I should be so lucky when UA messes up my meal I LOVE IT = I get a $250 voucher

 When cO messed it up all I got was an hear full eg, Well we arent in the restaurant biz and after all we got U from pt A to B. 1 time they sent me a $50 voucher

 Id take UA anyday, tonight I was able to order a meal for my soon to be DEN-PHL flight with CO if it isnt a Transcon then no kosher meal (BTW this if for 1st as coach gets no meals)

 to alot of those who fly for status the seat itself is the important thing

 also most of COs fleet doesnt have the IFE system yet so that means a very good chance you wont even have any music to listen to or a movie to watch

the 757 I just got off had a seat alot more comfortable then COs 753s or any 737 series.There was some sort of TV running sincs the flight was 819 miles no movie perse

what about US?

 my order would be #1 CO on their 752 (only)

                           #2 UA

                            #3 CO

                             #4 US unless they are flying a widebody for some strange reason and if they are then US would be before CO except COs 752s
