Just go to Continental Airlines - Airline Tickets, Vacations Packages, Travel Deals, and Company Information on continental.com and search for flights from IAH-DEN on 1 May. It's a 0600 departure.

Smisek has never even attempted to comply with the ruling. I agree that you guys are in a tough situation and you're essentially forced to be complicit in all of this. That's another reason it's called a whipsaw.

I understand that it's a tough job market out there. Holy hell, I was furloughed in 2008 and in 2009 I got another notification that my subsequent job was about to be downsized. But I didn't jump on any "opportunities" to join the ranks of SkyWest or any other "regional" carrier.

Congrats on making more than $19,800 in the first year. What is it now - $25,000? I guess that makes it all worthwhile.
IAH-DEN and DEN-IAH is recognized as a UAL Express route since DEN is a UAL hub. Any RJ700 flight from IAH to SFO, LAX, DEN, ORD, or IAD has always been allowed to be sold via StarAlliance pre and post arbitration.
