March 3, 2012 was a date most travelers flying on United would rather forget. Fast forward to March 3, 2013 and what a difference a year makes. While some elite Mileage Plus members remain unhappy about sevral unnecessary changes made by United's (Continental) Management, occassional hiccups remain but certainly better than it was a year ago. Tougher competition is looming for United domestically and internationally. The soon to be rubber-stamped merger by USAirways and American Airlines will result in a carrier larger than United. Delta is also positioning itself to be a formidable presence especially in New York and soon to be London Heathrow, thanks to the recently acquired Virgin Atlantic stake. This means that United cannot afford any more major mistakes as the airline is ready to put the sloppy merger behind it.
