Oh, yes...Happy birthday, brother/sister. Our Dad, Walter Varney, would be so proud of us today. We'll show them "breaking guitars" is not our way of life.
Great, positive presentation. Welcome to United, Continental! We were both two of our country's legacy airlines respected worldwide. Unfortunaly, we both got raped by airline "robber barons", but together, we will regain our position as "the world's best"-- Ex-airline historian.
I grew up on Continental. My dad flew for 33 years as captain. He retired in 1978. We've had so many close, life-long family friends through Continental making wonderful memories for me. Us kids all grew up together in; Dallas-El Paso-Los Angeles-El Paso. God's Blessings for the future ! B. Hooper
Oh how I remember the Continental of 1959. Yes, I started in El Paso, Tx as Passenger Service Agent. Then Transfered to Tulsa, Ok. We delivered great GOLD CARPET SERVICE.
United may be terrible, but we flight attendants, "like me" at Continental Airlines will be working at United and making sure that United becomes the Continental Airlines everyone loves and enjoyes so much :) We are not bitter and are eager to help turn United around and become the (best ever ) airline
@brennenjc well im sad that it will no longer be called Continental airlines anymore my mom worked for them from 99 till 9/11 when she was layed off i loved the service we got from them and myself i loved the look of the plans so pretty anyways it will be sad o yeah im from houston maybe that also has something to do with it.
its not a merger people it`s a buy out ,,,this crapy ceo is destroying continental ,,,look at this video all this hard work after all those years ,went to the garbage in 4 months ,,to save the sinking united airlines ,im flying other airlines if i can from now on ,f@#$ you united
I owe great thanks to Continental Airlines....a very faithful airline makes very faithful and grateful customers. Cheers to Continental, my favorite airline since childhood! Hopefully this merger doesn't materialize, it would be a tragedy to say the least.
A lot of dedicated Continental Airline employees got screwed by the Hostile Takeover by Frank Lorenzo of Texas Air.
The company was bought with Junk Bonds and our HDQ was moved from Los Angeles to Houston, this also with the help of former Criminal & Mayor of Los Angeles, the Late Tom Bradley.
I hope Continental does not merge with United also....Continental SUCKS!.....They have the most inexperienced flyers.....They come onboard with stupid questions like "Where do I put my carry on BOX ?".......Tied with rope...LOL....Nothin but Poor Country People......SMDH
There on pretty much every 900er (i think as of now theres only about 4 give or take without the directv) one 800 is in the shop for it right now. More than likely the sequence will go: all the 900ers, the 800s from ship 507-517 that did not have any IFE installed upon delivery, the other 117 800s and 900s, then the 700s and 753's. For the 180 seats, ship 013 (b772) is in HKG getting the retrofit right now as we speak
I am really proud of the way CO has developed over the years and the great way the company weathers the tough times in the industry. I am proud to be a shareholder and frequent flyer of this airline =D

@jmass67, I beg to disagree. Both Continental and United were great airlines, and I think the NEW United will be even better.
