Completely agree. We operated CDG from IAH for years. I believe the change to the Star Alliance for Continental, along with the retirement of the 767-200 set in motion the cutting of the route several years ago. Wish we still flew it. Can't tell you how many people have asked me why they have to connect to Paris from IAH on UA. Had to go through LHR myself last time my wife and I flew over (took the Eurostar from London).
