I just learned also that Atlanta’s Hartsfield Airport ( Not O’ Haire, Not Dallas, Not Denver, Not JFK, not LAX ) is the BUSIEST and LARGEST airport in the USA.

Atlanta is also the busiest airport by passenger traffic in the WORLD.

“Our stockholders recognised the value of bringing together Continental and United to create a platform for increased profitability and sustained long-term value”

Translation: We want to raise fares even higher and add more fees, so you get even LESS service for FAR MORE MONEY!!!!!

Here in southwest Missouri, we have to flock to places like Kansas City and St. Louis (and sometimes fly out of Branson IF the fares are reasonable and the schedules work) to fly because the fares out our local airport, Springfield, are just plain outrageous!

Hopefully they downsize the number of gay male stewards and focus on hot looking honies.

I remember when Texas Air (mainly composed of Continental and Eastern) was the largest airline in the free world. It lasted about a year.

I think the new entity should be called ContinU.

I usually don't like to see people in the private sector lose their jobs but in the case of airlines, I cannot shed a tear.

After 26 years of 80-90% travel and some years 120 flights, I have zero compassion for anyone from the ticket counter, “Security” (no longer private), gate agents, trolley dollies (flight attendants), baggage handlers and agents...

6 years ago, I stopped traveling by air for any reason after some, rhymes with witch, told me that we had no choice but to fly. That was the last flight I ever took.

I found I can do a trip requiring 10 hours of driving, each way, meet with the customers, then return home on MY schedule not the airlines, and make it home in less time.
