This could be good news for our furloughs. Hopefully we will see them all back in Spring 2010.

Continental sees fuller jets, 2010 capacity growth
By Christopher Hinton CAL
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Continental Airlines (CAL 15.72, -0.20, -1.26%) said Wednesday it expects to increase its year-over-year total seat capacity by 1.5% to 2.5% in 2010, driven by its international routes. Mainline capacity is set to grow by 2% to 3%, the carrier said, with its domestic capacity flat. International mainline capacity is set to grow by 5% to 6%. For the fourth quarter, Continental forecast fuller planes, with both mainline and consolidated load factors increasing by about 2.9 points versus last year. Fourth-quarter mainline capacity is expected to come down by 0.7%, and 0.8% on a consolidated basis. Continental said it expects to end 2009 with $2.4 billion in cash. Shares of Continental slipped less than 1% to $15.79.
