Somehow I wouldn't want to ride anywhere with someone named Ted. Ps, I hope the pilots aren't drunk.

They'll cross that bridge when they get to it.

United Airlines (search), the world's second-largest airline, Wednesday confirmed it has named its fledgling low-cost carrier venture "Ted,"

Will people fly with "Ted" if their flight path brings them over water?

Looks like someone's trying to tap into the Southwest market, i.e. provide no-frills flights at no-frills prices rather than provide no-frills flights at big frill prices.

United Airlines, the world's second-largest airline, Wednesday confirmed it has named its fledgling low-cost carrier venture "Ted," as it prepares to launch the service from Denver early next year.

If they paint a bat on the sides of their planes, I'm not going anywhere near them...

They wanted to name it "Monica", but realized that they wouldn't be able to claim a maiden flight or even get off the ground.

When making travel arrangements, my rule is never take transport from a company with someone's name in the title. Fred's Bait, Tackle and Puddle-Jumpers comes to mind.

Ted will begin flying customers on Airbus A320s (search) in February, starting with four planes with 156 seats each, 18 more than United's other mainline A320s.

Airbus A320 - Strike one!

18 more seats than usual - Strike two!

TED? - Strike three!

The bankrupt parent company, UAL Corp. (UAL), is attempting through the new venture to recreates more revenue opportunity in leisure-focused markets," said John Tague, executive vice president - customer.

"to recreates more revenue opportunity"???

"executive vice president - customer"???

Good Mother McCree... Reuters and Fox News are responsible for editing and publishing this crap?

I'm not sure I know how to take this thread. Ted has always been ok for me.

P.S., I was born in Mass, but I'm not from there, and am no relation to that other Ted.
