+1 - great post.
I flew Continental when they were the worst, and I've been a loyal customer since they improved to "first".
They can slap a new name on the planes and check-in counter, but my travels will continue through IAH and EWR, where I will still see familiar faces at the gate, in the Clubs and often on board my flights - so it will still be my Continental no matter what name it goes by.
