I'll make a new pad. My wife and I will certainly never fly Continental or purchase E-tickets again. We travel for other
business as well and probably only spend about $ 5,000 to $6,000 a year on tickets. That certainly is no big loss for Continental,
but will be my small protest.

Not flying with CO anymore is probably the only thing you can do.
Because you don't have a case. Just one month ago I checked in with a
luggage a tad over-sized going from Newark to Aruba. The agent waved
her hand and let me go. I was fully prepared to pay the $80 charge
for a 20" bicyle front wheel ($20) I brought for a friend's kid.
