The architect of the plan, Hauenstein, is a former Continental exec. In the past decade, Continental morphed into a major international player, but they didn't do it overnight. Delta is trying to do it overnight. If these transatlantic routes are so great, why didn't Continental do them -- epsecially since they have the single best transaltantic hub (Newark) on this side of the Atlantic?
