Remaining Vestiges of Continental After the Merger With United
With all of the re-branding work that has been going on over the last few months, I was wondering what CO imprints still remain. I am not talking about amenity kits still left over from before the merger or airport tugs that haven't been repainted yet. I am more wondering if there is still stuff that may have slipped through the cracks and has CO branding out there.
Here's one that I found.
Found on yesterday's e-receipt.
Anything else out there?

Jeff still calls his employees CO-workers. It must be a CO thing because usually when someone refers to "coworkers", they usually have a similar job and salary.... or at least work together. When Jeff calls the pilots his CO-workers as they're at each others throats... it just seems totally disingenuous.

Baggage claim in terminal B at IAH still has a CO sign about baggage. They have made some sad attempts to change it but it still mentions CO.
Also saw a wheelchair the other day in CLE with "Continental" on the back.
I won't count the number of times UX FAs have thanked "MileagePlus and OnePass members"

Sadly, the Continental name is quickly disapearing. Along with the friendly helpful CO attitude. (Yes, positive UA attitude also gone.)
I saw that same wheelchair in CLE and also a CO baggage cart at MCI. About the proudest remaining sign is the Continental hanger at EWR, or was it CLE? No doubt these will be overpainted too.

I like it. Modern and sleek. Never understood that the tulip was a tulip until the merger came along and never thought it nice (nor did I like the old CO ball). But it is fine if you did; sympathies on missing it. On the CO side we are missing quite a bit.

Was told in SFO last week that the company was having certain employees go through the airport to find any remaining vestiges of the old UA tullip to get rid of it. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be the same type of diligence going into the old Continental name.
