I got re routed on United this fall coming back from England. I think they have the oldest stewardess working. It was like flying with a bunch of crabby old aunts.
We liked Continental/United for their non-stop service to LAS/CLE with all seats sold on every flight (and hope that it remains) but that flight may be on the chopping block.
As for some of the remarks about Cleveland, they are justly deserved, but downtown Cleveland is making a remarkable turnaround plus the addition of the Casinos, (which helped). The near east side is a Detroit “wanna be” and soon heading that way!

It seems to be that way on every airline. I can’t remember the last time I had a friendly and/or attractive stewardess. I’m a woman, so the attractiveness isn’t that important to me. It’s just that I notice that stereotype of young, pretty stewardesses is long gone. I would be happy with friendly instead of some crabby old hag barking orders for the whole flight. I call them the TSA in the sky!
I went to Monterrey CA from here once and SW doesn't go there so I took United, it was one disaster after another, weather kept the plane from taking off for two hours, they dumped me at the Denver Airport with no carry-ons because the connecting flights where all gone, the next day they routed me to San Francisco instead of my destination. Eventually I got there at noon instead of the previous day.
The only good part was I got the business seat upgrade for FREE because he couldn't get his credit card machine working,
