The integration process will be fully completed in 12-18 months.The merger received full legal approval on October 1, 2010, allowing us to operate separately under a holding company called United Continental Holdings, Inc.For our customers, it is “business as usual” as we begin to integrate operations of the two airlines. We then anticipate that in the spring of 2011, we will be able to offer customers a more seamless travel experience, including unified products and services.At this time, aircraft will also begin to carry the livery of the new airline. A year or more after the close of the merger, when the FAA issues us a Single Operating Certificate, we will begin flying as one airline.
