SINCE HOUSTON-BASED CONTINENTAL AIRLINES switched alliances a few days ago, newspapers in Continental’s other hub cities (Newark/NYC and Cleveland) have reporting interesting news from President Jeff Smisek, who takes over for CEO Larry Kellner next year.
Bloomberg reports that Smisek envisions more a-la-carte fees for Continental fliers. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that Smisek may re-open merger talks with United if the Delta-Northwest merger proves profitable. The Houston Chronicle…. hasn’t reported either bit of news.
