Of course, UAL lost $305 million during the first quarter. So, it makes the most sense that US Airways and United Airlines will be more profitable as one. Because a $171 million loss combined with a $305 million loss means that everyone is better off, right? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tongue.gif

Count me among the people who moved from USAirways because I had no intention of being an United customer any more than absolutely necessary.

It does not seemed to have occured to USAirways that while some people are captive customers, that that isn't enough to make a profit on.
