The parent company of the new carrier will be called United Continental Holdings, Inc. The new United will be run by Continental's CEO, Jeffery Smisek, along with United Airline's CEO, Glenn Tilton, serving as non-executive Chairman of the board. United's pilots union announced that they "are fully prepared to protect and defend the interests of all United pilots."[6]
