Walking to our jet at Gate E3. We’re off to Cleveland, a former hub for Continental Airlines and current crew and maintenance base for United Airlines. Curiously enough, United also had a hub at Cleveland from shortly after World War Two until the mid-1980s, so the merger with Continental was a homecoming in a way.
