One of the plus events of this poker tournament was a special Q&A session and airline update with five senior Continental Airline executives. While many of the questions from the approximately 50 members in the audience dealt with the decision to join the Star Alliance and the pending relationship with United Airlines, it was clear this group of members had very specific questions regarding service, aircraft and of course, the OnePass program. All questions were answered to the delight of the audience.

The statement of the day from one member of the audience, “Hopefully Continental will be able to pull United up to Continental’s level.”
