Not sure what you would like to read. How Continental and especially Jeff Smisek took over United in a merger closely resembling McDonnel-Boeing, resulting in financial trouble, dysfunctional computer systems, dissatisfied consumers having significantly less choice? (Eventually Smisek got fired and only the corrupt US legal system kept him from criminal charges and out of prison.) All this is well known and I didn't feel like typing up 10+ years of sad history.
