There was an odd section not presented but in the handout entitled Reconfigured First for CO. It basically stated (this is from memory), Continental is reevaluating all routes and reconfiguring/eliminating first class on several flights. ....
I doubt very much that CO would release key product information like this to a client regardless of size. I think it's pure speculation on the part of the travel agency. Aircraft like the 735 and 753 already have shrunken FC cabins, which is old news to us here, and there are some talks between a key FTer and CO management to see if they will re-evaluate this decision for the future.
I am sure the contents of this "handout" is news to Cigarman, who will debunk it when he reads the post (or least I hope so
).
