This is not to cause division but to bring unity and awareness that I mean business with America to repent and follow me wholeheartedly - a new "Continental Divide" - for not even a river will make this passable and no bridge span its width or girth. Now in this shaking miracles shall occur bringing my chosen ones together as one for... |

Some feel blue as United, Continental wedding mixes old, new

Posted by admin / Under Continental
| United and Continental airlines aren't yet officially hitched, but some are already grumbling about the monogram they've selected for their china. The backlash is a reaction to one of the first compromises reached by the carriers' CEOs during their April courtship: an agreement to stamp Continental's stylized globe logo and blue-and-gold color scheme on all jets operated by the new United, which will be one of the world's largest carriers. United's name and its Chicago headquarters will survive the tie-up, but not the "tulip," the giant Saul Bass-designed "U" that has graced United's jets for nearly 40 years. |
