You fly for UNO. United in Name Only.

Summary of UNITED CONTINENTAL HOLDINGS, INC. - Yahoo! Finance

On March 28, 2013, Continental Airlines, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Continental") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc. ("UAL"), and United Air Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("United") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") providing for the merger of United with and into Continental (the "Merger"). On March 31, 2013, United merged with and into Continental, with Continental continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL. Upon the closing of the Merger on March 31, 2013, Continental's name was changed to "United Airlines, Inc." (the "Survivor").

Just out of curiosity, do the 97-99 crowd here feel that they should not be merged in with the 05-07 cal crowd? Unless the Arbs staple them, then you will be merged with them.

They weren't merged with them according to the UAL proposal.

The UAL proposal was in line with ALPA merger policy (actually it was a little "too fair" to the CAL side).

I would expect to add about 7,000 numbers to my current seniority number if I was a CAL guy hired in 2007.

Cute brain child of the 90's but why didn't they keep the Continental name. Was it due to the regional nature of that airline? Or, could it have been due to the name that destroyed many lives in it short post Lorenzo rule? Could it have been due to the Name recognition that United Airlines has? I could go on but you get the idea. The reason they adapted the paint job was cost and they quarter round logo is a joke to please the peons.
