Great Post. I feel the same way about Continental; it has always been two steps above the rest to me. While I miss they days of Bethune, the days of Kellner weren't bad either. The future, while uncertain, I seem to think will be relatively bright. Things will change, but remember without change there cannot be improvements. I don't have to say this because its obvious, but nothing good in life comes without great effort nil sine magno vitae debit mortalibus, and I hope that the NEW UNITED will put in the great effort to have good things come out for itself, its' shareholders, and customers (including me, and mike_asia, and everyone in between!).
