From everything I have read, they expect the single op cert to be in hand at the beginning of 2012..

It's as good a day as any.. a Friday during a slow time of year for travel so if there are big systems implementation issues that occur they've got the weekend to sort them out.

Um ... that IS veterans day, so its a long weekend for many, and therefore a heavier travel period. Not to mention just a mere two weeks before thanksgiving, so I would doubt referring to November as a "slow" period is really correct.

United and Continental will continue to operate separately under United Continental Holdings, Inc. until receipt of a single operating certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration, which they expect to receive by the end of 2011.

There are so many variables between now and November that, other than possibly being an internal target/goal, I can't imagine this is true.
It's like saying "oh, we'll have all our 777s in new config by 3/18/2012". Impossible to target so far out.

IIRC customer day one is supposed to happen sometime over the summer (one website, one checkin counter, one livery, etc.) and that could happen pretty much at any time (although one would assume they would "highlight" that day).
