As of yesterday.....According to "Jeff" & the people over at FORTUNE Magazine, life's great and things are swell in UCH Land.

UNITED DAILY (March 1st, 2012)
FORTUNE names United world's most admired airline on Thursday FORTUNE magazine ranked United No. 1 in its annual airline industry list of the world's most admired companies. The magazine also ranked us No. 1 for global competitiveness and long-term investment among 12 global carriers. “Despite a year of weather and integration challenges, you helped us achieve an impressive 2011 profit, allowing us to distribute $265 million in profit sharing, all while running a clean, safe and reliable airline,” Jeff said. “The recognition from FORTUNE is more proof of the great work you’re doing for the new United. I’m proud to be on your team.”

FWIW....Good to see there's articles/blogs (Like the one you posted) citing specifics/details as to what is really going on with this debacle called a "Merger".
