For whoever created "History Of Continental Airlines", I do not think it is needed. We can do what we did with the DL/NW merger. Change the page to reflect past tense, and leave a perfectly good article alone. Tofutwitch11-Chat -How'd I do? 22:13, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

I am pretty sure TWA beat CO to the 747 on US domestic routes, so I will change article to reflect this. A TWA history link states: "February 25, 1970: Inauguration of 747 scheduled service nonstop from Los Angeles to New York. TWA first to launch 747 in U.S." This is four months before the date listed in this article for CO. This is confirmed in an April 26, 1970 TWA timetable I have: ref: (page 16, flight 1 New York-Los Angeles 747 Daily), one of many 747 domestic flights in this timetable. Additional references:

Is Continental still planning on launching this route? I couldn't find any nonstop flights from Houston to Lagos on November 10th or after. Do you think they postponed this route (like Auckland) due to the 787 delay or they have shelved it completely? Snoozlepet (talk) 04:13, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

As we have seen in past US airline mergers, each merger is consisted of several major milestones, and these events do not happen in the same order. For example, Delta and Northwest merged their lounges on 2009-06-01 (IIRC), FFPs on 2009-10-01, obtained SOC on 2009-12-31. Finally, ATC callsigns and reservation systems were merged on 2010-01-30, the same day as the websites. The SOC didn't mean everything.
Here we are, in this United-Continental merger, their lounges were merged on 2011-10-01, obtained SOC and retained CO callsigns on 2011-11-30, However, FFPs are scheduled to merge 2012-01-01, and their single "passenger service system" is targeted for 2012Q1 (rumored to be March).
In the HP-US merger, there was even a period of time when the scope says USA but controllers said "CACTUS".
All these mean that we should not focus on one event (like today's) and should include several aspects, and treat the retiring company name/branding as merged when the last of these aspects disappears. In my opinion, these aspects should be ground operations, air operations (operating certificate, callsign and aircraft manuals), reservation and branding. Not to be included are be the FFP, lounges, crew and labor union divisions.
Also, pre-merger infobox information should be retained, with transitional information added temporarily. This includes strikeout fonts for codes/callsign, old FFP/lounge in regular fonts with new/current post merger names and dates in parentheses. All these based on a principle that we should not have to double revert when the whole merger is finished. HkCaGu (talk) 03:59, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
While these are all good points, the fact remains that from the perspective of ICAO and ATC, Continental no longer exists, and the edit proposed above, to use the strikeout font on the callsign and COA, should be heeded. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14940674md (talk • contribs) 05:33, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Please can you remove the Continental Airlines Flight 697 incident from the article. It is not notable as per Wikipedia:AIRCRASH#Airline_articles. Thanks --JetBlast (talk) 09:13, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Since a single operating certificate will be achieved soon according to this article http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20111129/NEWS10/111129830/united-continental-get-fed-nod-to-operate-as-single-carrier, should the ceased operations date be November 30, 2011 (when UA gets the merged certificate) or when the CO code, website, frequent flyer program, etc disappears (apparently all those have not ceased to exist yet)? Snoozlepet (talk) 05:51, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't the slogan, "work hard, fly right" be moved elsewhere in the article? The first paragraph is an important summary. It would be as if the Obama article had the sentence, "Vote for Obama 2008!" in the introductory paragraph.
WhisperToMe (talk) 05:33, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Single operating certificates were combined on November 30, 2011 but the Continental name/brand, IATA code, reservation systems (basically passenger services) continued to be used. Also, the date for the "ceased operations" was changed to March 3, 2012 in which the Continental name/brand and code disappeared. So is the date November 30, 2011 or March 2, 2012 for last operation date? Snoozlepet (talk) 06:09, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

The article is missing the startup of New York Air, which Lorenzo started as part of his rivalry with People Express. It was later folded into Continental.
This article does not even mention the takeover of Eastern. Instead, only refers to it in discussion of the One Pass frequent flyer program shared with Continental. This is incorrect. Eastern created the One Pass program and like other assets, Lorenzo stole them and gave them to Continental outright or at terms unfavorable to Eastern. These included Airbus A300 aircraft, One Pass liability remained on Eastern books, System One Direct Accesss of "SODA" Eastern's reservation system was given to Continental and their content was displayed to travel agents ahead of Eastern schedules and fares. What's more, the article says Lorenzo retired which is incorrect. He was thrown out by the courts and is forbidden to own or manage a commercial airline. Get your facts straight because your blatant omission of these facts gives your article a very soft and sympathetic view towards how Continental survived and how it was managed into the ground by a mad man. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.87.170.126 (talk) 23:49, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
