Continental Air Lines, the ninth largest U.S. carrier, filed for bankruptcy in September, then dismissed its 12,000 workers, only to offer jobs to 4,200 of them at about half their previous pay. Pilots and flight attendants went on strike, but enough of them crossed picket lines for Continental to operate about half its usual flights...
