Continental was a great airline before they sold out to United. Used to be happy Houston was a hub because I could drive a couple hours and get a nonstop flight anywhere I wanted for cheaper than any other airline. Now it’s continentals planes with United prices. I fly frontier now.

Actually....

United was actually acquired by Continental, but CO management kept the UA brand because of its global presence. Primarily through Star Alliance.

Jeff Smisek, the former Continental CEO ran United until a few years ago when he was indicted for bribing the head of the Port Authority of NY NJ.

Continental's leadership was ill prepared to take on a global airline, now United sits at the back of the pack.
