No matter what opinion anyone has about
avek00 (I personally have no opinion), I have to credit him on this one. He was apparently correct in his prediction that was his signature, as seen in
this thread as an example:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Thank you for choosing Continental Airlines, a proud member of the SkyTeam Alliance.</font>
I also wonder what this development means for all of us frequent travelers.
