A few examples, some more tenuous than others:
  • The thing called "united.com" will be powered by the thing currently accessible via "continental.com"
  • The thing called "mobile.united.com" actually points to the thing formerly accessible via "pda.continental.com"
  • The single shared FAA operating certificate that says "United Airlines" on it is the one that was formerly used by the Continental subsidiary
  • Every "United Club" now serves prepackaged fruit, vegetables, and cheese and offers a free bar

There are surely counterexamples (the new name "BusinessFirst" for the middle cabin of a sUA 763).
Are you saying the "bones" that they're throwing pmUA flyers to make this actually feel like a merger as opposed to a CO takeover aren't what they seem to be?
