So Far, Continental's New Merger Website Is Pointless

Was Continental in the minority, thinking the new American Airlines blog was any sort of decent? Must have, cause the carrier has fired up its own stand-alone mouthpiece to spout opinions about airline mergers. You'll find it at co-industryconsolidation.com.

Thing is--and this is right outta the AA playbook--the new site doesn't actually tell us anything worth hearing. Here's a snippet of the "helpful" info Continental shares:

As we've said repeatedly for more than a year and a half, our preference has been to remain independent as long as the competitive landscape remained the same. However, the landscape is changing. We will review our strategic alternatives and make sure we remain a strong long-term competitor.

Southwest should be selling these legacy carriers PR classes.
