Continental CEO To Leave Next Week
Gordon Bethune steps down as chief of Houston-based Continental
Airlines next week, leaving the company in about the same shape it
was in when he took the reigns ten years ago. For instance, USA
Today reports, losses are on the rise. The availability of cash is
fast becoming a worry and the airline industry as a whole is
suffering the worst churn it's seen since deregulation. But in
spite of all that, Bethune told the nationwide newspaper, ""We've
got, I think, a company that works."
