@gregpwilson - I can understand the frustration, but it is in no way Continental's fault that you didn't make your flight. They need an appropriate amount of time not only to check you in and ensure that your bags get on board, but also for you to get through security. If they had waited for you they could have lost their slot with air traffic and been delayed significantly, causing many others to miss connections. I would recommend not avoiding Continental, but getting to the airport MUCH earlier next time!
