Under the Continental FCU transaction, the 23,000 employees, family members and retirees of Continental Airlines and U.S. Airways become members of Alliant.
David Mooney, president/CEO of Alliant, reiterated the CU's message of last September that the merger "makes sense for a number of reasons including synergy with our legacy sponsor United Airlines' merger with Continental Airlines and the ability to reduce unit costs and effect economies of scale."
