So, if you have any tidbits of the past that you'd like to share in regards to services that CO used to offer or things that they used to do please do.
Here's a possibly obscure one.
Remember when Continental was testing thier beta website and I guess had alot of elites testing the site? After the testing was complete they sent out nice utility pocket knives with the Continental logo. Someone swiped mine at a trade show
I remember when CS flew 747's b/w GUM & HNL and had 3 classes of service back in the late 80's / early 90's. My gradmother would always fly first class, while she put my sister and I in business...it was so funny...she would always say, "now you and your sis stay behind that curtain and in the cabin you're in". She promised that when I had graduated from high school, she would allow me to try their first class, but by that time, CO/CS had discountinued their 3 class service, and introduced BusinessFirst. I also remember when the flight attendants in BusinessFirst would wear the white jackets inflight...that was very nice...now they wear the blue ones...
