The World's Leading Airline The World’s Leading Airline On Oct. 1, 2010, United and Continental closed their previously announced all-stock “merger of equals” transaction to create the world’s leading airline. The new United will offer customers an enhanced travel experience, combining the best products and services each carrier has to offer. The airline will be focused on being the airline customers want to fly, the airline employees want to work for and the airline shareholders want to invest in. Highlights of the new United include: • World’s most comprehensive global route network, including world-class international gateways to Asia, Europe, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East with non-stop or one-stop service from virtually anywhere in the United States • Most modern and fuel-efficient fleet (when adjusted for cabin size), and the best new aircraft order book, among U.S. network carriers • Industry-leading frequent flyer program that will provide more opportunities to earn and redeem miles worldwide • Optimal hub locations in 10 cities, including hubs in the four largest cities in the United States United Continental Holdings, Inc., is the holding company for United Airlines and Continental Airlines. Travelers will begin experiencing a more unified product in the spring of 2011, as the carriers begin to align key customer services, marketing activities and airport processes. United and Continental will continue to operate separately until the company receives a single operating certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration that will allow it to operate under a common set of manuals and procedures, which is expected to take at least a year.

  • Continental Airlines Suffers Damage, Disruption from Typhoon
    ENGAGEMENT Continental Airlines Suffers Damage, Disruption from Typhoon Super Typhoon Paka, as the storm came to be called, was a 12-hour session of destruction for the island of Guam. Stirring up winds in excess of 200 miles per hour, the tropical cyclone tossed buildings, planes and ships across the island like discarded toys. Among these was the headquarters of Continental Micronesia, a subsidiary of Continental Airlines. The main offices, the marketing buildings and the planes were damaged by the powerful typhoon. DESCRIPTION Continental Micronesia maintained its home base on Guam, and the storm caused direct damage to the facilities there, which led to a severe and complicated disruption in the scheduling of flights into and out of Guam, and to and from neighboring islands and other countries being serviced by Continental. In addition to affecting these flights, Continental’s fleet of undamaged airplanes was overused to accommodate the out-of-commission crafts, carrying passengers loads far beyond budgeted capacities and creating excessive wear on those planes. I S S U E S Continental and its insurance carrier had major Was Continental’s loss affected by a widely varying differences of opinion regarding the cause and extent currency exchange rate? of its business income loss.

  • Inadequate Pilot Training and Compromise
    A Report to Congress from the United Chapter of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) Inadequate Pilot Training and Compromised Safety by United Airlines Within the Process of Merging the Continental and United Airlines’ FAA Operating Certificates into a Merged Single Operating Certificate (SOC) Updated November 10, 2011 SUMMARY The United pilots are deeply concerned about inadequate pilot training and the compromise in safety brought about as a result of the merger between legacy United Airlines and legacy Continental Airlines, as the airline seeks a Single Operating Certificate (SOC) from the FAA. The adoption of harmonized aircraft operation procedures must occur when two large and complex airlines such as United and Continental merge. It is important to note that on the fleets of concern, the B757/767 and B777, that legacy United pilots are adopting 80 percent of the changes in procedures. The new management of United Airlines has chosen to train pilots on this large volume of flight related procedures through computer-based training (CBT). This training is broken down into four phases; Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3A/3B and Phase 4. Historically, such a large volume of procedural changes, some of which are quite complex, would have required practice in a learning environment such as a simulator or classroom that allow for peer review and discussion. Computer- based training is acceptable for introduction or review, but unacceptable for cognitive absorption and development of the muscle memory required to produce practiced and proficient performance. United’s CBT via the internet has caused confusion and distractions, and pilots are now conducting on-the-job training on revenue flights with passengers aboard rather than in a simulator or classroom environment.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF SUPPLY CHAIN AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS AIRLINE MERGER WAVES IN THE UNITED STATES IS A MERGER BETWEEN AMERICAN AIRLINES AND US AIRWAYS POSSIBLE? LAP CHI ADRIANO CHAO Spring 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Management and Economics with honors in Supply Chain and Information Systems Reviewed and approved* by the following: Robert Novack Associate Professor of Supply Chain and Information Systems Thesis Supervisor John Spychalski Professor Emeritus of Supply Chain and Information Systems Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT Commercial airlines are an important part of the transportation industry in the United States. A better understanding of the reasons for a series of airline merger waves in the United States can help airline professionals realize the criteria and requirements of a merger. This study examined three recent U.S. airline mergers (i.e., Delta-Northwest, United-Continental and Southwest-AirTran) and deduced eight major dimensions of merger motivations, including network synergies, antitrust immunity, fleet commonality, alliance coordination, market positioning, financial benefits and shareholders’ approval, union support and organizational learning. The feasibility of a hypothetical merger between American Airlines and US Airways was determined using the eight dimensions derived. Results suggested that the merger was unlikely to increase the competitiveness
