GOODBYE CONTINENTAL (THERE'S A TEAR IN MY EYE)

With a lump in my throat, I say goodbye to Continental Airlines and I know I'm not alone.  I've only worked at two other companies where the employees were so proud and loyal to the company they worked for.

As of 2:00 A.M. this morning Continental and United Airlines merged their reservation systems and the Continental name moves into the history books. Now, it's all United Airlines and we wish them many successful years of flying.

The first flights to take off under the all new UNITED banner were:

Flights 1122 San Francisco (SFO) to Houston (IAH) and flight 1158 Los Angeles (LAX) to Houston (IAH).  Both fights departed at 12:31 AM Pacific Time.

The LAST FLIGHT FOR CONTINENTAL AIRLINES was Flight 1267 which departed Phoenix, as a Continental flight, at 11:59pm (Pacific time) and arrived in Cleveland, this morning, as a United flight.

Perhaps the flights to Houston were looking for you.
