- United continues to shuffle around aircraft inefficiently as a result of its inability to combine work groups still seven years into the merger with Continental

The phrase “Oneworld Airline Program Planning Total Reboot” in the title is completely inaccurate. Hello clickbait!
@M it is 100% accurate, the program planning a total reboot is attached to a oneworld airline, where’s the disconnect?
I think that M reads your title as being Oneworld, the organization, is planning a reboot. That being said, it’s probably not too difficult for you to be more specific and actually note in the title that Malaysian Airlines is doing the reboot. However, as many of your readers are North American and most don’t give a toss about Malaysian Airlines, by NOT stating the actual airline would encourage more click through…just saying! :/

Exactly, thank you for clarifying.
I agree with M. That’s why I clicked.
