It took United two years to screw up its better acquisition.
I had the inverse reaction. The merger left Continental executives, Continental IT (the web site was screwed up for two years), arrogant Continental crews (announcements from the flight deck that they were "Continental" crews flying United), arrogant managers and ground staff (United folks could not believe the "we are holier than thou" attitude from the Continental staff), and so on.
It was a Continental takeover of United.
Has not gone very well. Disgraced CEO. Financial strategy (to pay the investment bankers and the former execs) has caused huge problems.
So, yeah, it is United's fault!
