I never understood why they had Continental in the name to begin with. After they decided to keep the United brand—objectively, it was a much stronger brand, so it was clearly the correct move—they should have dropped Continental out of the name of the corporation. I don’t see that it matters that it took close to a decade to finalize the merger.
