How well did this work out for Continental? Every time the accident is discussed in the media, Continental has some unwanted advertising with their logo splash across the newspapers and television.

Great post, mwa. Government intervention may still happen, but since they are quickly going broke, I don't see them being able to do much unless it is subsidize Greyhound and Amtrak.
