I can not believe how unreliable Continental's performance is on this route. I've lost count of how many times I've been inconvenienced either as a passenger or when waiting to meet someone; how many times the Continental flight from Newark can't land in Halifax in marginal weather when EVERY OTHER airline and aircraft seems to come in as scheduled and without problem.

The latest insult is the cancellation - 12 hours ahead of time - of flight CO2966 on 02JUL09 supposedly due to weather. Continental must have some hyper-sophisticated forecasting technology! Or perhaps a crystal ball. If it's a matter of aircraft out of position, that seems lame, too. With that much lead time they can't find an alternative? They manage to get a pretty broad stroke with their 'act of god' brush! They thereby gain license to leave customers stranded without recourse.

As if all this weren't bad (read 'unbelievable') enough the best they can do is a rebooking on the last of four flights on 03JUL09 - thirty-six hours later than my carefully engineered arrival. Needless to say, all plans and arrangements have been completely disrupted if not ruined.

It's simply unacceptable and certainly extremely annoying. The route should be given to a better carrier IMHO!
