Nobody has ever spoke about what happened behind the scenes, but with Continental as the dominant player in all this, how did the corporate office wind up in Chicago. Nothing public ever came out that Houston ever made a play or overture to make sure they stayed. Did I miss something in all this?

My vote is to oust Smisek and bring back Bethune.

Hahahah. Gordons been "busy" from what I've heard to come back as a key player. Smisek, IMO, has been doing a great job so far as an exec for some time now

Part of the deal that United insisted on was that the airline be based in Chicago.
