IMHO, UAL lost it's soul in the 80's, and I'm sort of glad he's not around to see what became of one of the great old airlines.

I know what you mean. I worked for Pan Am in 69-70 as co-op engineer and did a stint with pax service at JFK. Flying was completely different before deregulation, not that there aren't benefits with it, but I am not so sure it did not go too far.
Oh, Friday on the trip to LGA from IAD, they took the strap off my hard sided golf club case. Put a new one on and the on the flight yesterday from JFK to JAX, they took it off again. I asked the rep and she said they always take them off because they can interfere with the luggage conveyors. Thanks for telling me that after the fact.
