Your comments are just dripping with nasty attitude - no comment.
If one feels one product is superior to another then it is thier choice - the poster elected to pay 800 on co, when they could have pais much less somewhere else - don't hold it against Continental.
Again, thats just full of nastyness - no comment.
Continental offers a minor superior coach product to other legacy carriers - meals at meal times, blankets, pillows, and IFE. You wont find that on NWA, AA, or HP/US.
Continental's FC product is much different as I said before with my EWR-PHX example, but also - on LGA-IAH on a breakfast flight I get a choice of breakfast - on NWA you get no choice on PHL-MSP. plus the seats are much different in quality and there is no IFE on NWA.
Everything is in the eye of the beholder, but there is no need to post comments dripping with nastyness and such distain for your fellow FTers...

Sometimes the truth isn't pretty.
You're confusing those who CAN spend more for a ticket and those who CAN'T. Again, out of touch with the rank-and-file elites.
The only difference I saw with US and CO is that US actually valued my business. Their program, in my opinion, was superior for top level (Chairmans).
Hot towels and warm nuts don't mean anything when you are sitting in coach eveytime because you didn't get the upgrade.
I think most people don't really care about the warmth of the nuts or a hot towel or if the cuisine a bit more refined. They just want to get away from the screaming babies, relax in a bigger seat with a cold beer and get to where I have to go.
Not nasty. Just honest.
