Continental Airline executives are finding a place in franchising. Last month, former Continental Airline Senior Vice President, David Samuel Coats, was named interim CEO at Schlotzsky's in Austin. Today, Burger King announced that Gary Brenneman, the former Chief Operating Officer of Continental Airlines, would fill the CEO position recently vacated by Brad Blum. Brenneman is credited with turning Continental Airlines around. He has also served as the CEO of PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting and, more recently, as the chief executive of a private equity firm, TurnWorks, Inc.
