:confused: It's a thread for the benefit of those here that fly UA and credit to AP. What were you expecting?

And who, pray tell, would those folks be?

Easy there, cowboy! I only jest! In fact, it wasn't directed at you! Refer to SH's post :D

And who, pray tell, would those folks be?

Me, for one. :)

And who, pray tell, would those folks be?

Me too SH..next week, 5 segments on UA, 6000 status miles and COS bonus.

And who, pray tell, would those folks be?

The ones not reading the UA forum, apparently.

Not me :)

I do - everytime I fly somewhere in the US that AC doesn;t directly serve. As many of us Canucks travel from one US city to the next (Iam traveling from LAX tp SMF tomorrow) finding out info about UA is quite valuable. The AC forum is where I learned about E+.

I look at UA as complimentary to my usage of AC. So yes, I will be crediting my mile to Aeroplan. But, I don't care about UA enough to follow its board so I am quite happy when someone posts a UA topic in the AC forum that is relevant to FF who utilize other *A carriers.

I agree. I fly UA quite a bit but credit my mileage to AP.

Long live Explus!

For the record... UA's debt coming out of Ch11 is rated at B+.

AC's is only a B...

That's interesting, Ollie, considering the time UA spent under protection compared to AC.

And UA used the time to trim off the fat. It will emerge as a lean company. No Pension baggage.Lower pay.Lower neg. leases.
Will be interesting to see how the stock will fly.

That is funny as a 1K on United that fly AC I feel the same way but about AC not UA/

UA and AC are very intertwined...good or bad :confused:

BTW, I noticed the moved thread on this subject. Are all UA topics now taboo? :confused: Or was the thread moved because there are others such as this one already in existence? Most of you should know I have no hidden agenda or cause to promote when posting news items so I'm just asking more for my own info than to stir anything up. :)

CHICAGO - United Airlines’ reorganization plan won final approval by a judge Friday, clearing the way for the nation’s second biggest carrier to come out of bankruptcy in less than two weeks.

News is news. Our Newsstand readers will enjoy all the links. Thanks.

P.S. I don't think we posted about the Air Canada bankruptcy emergence on a thread in the UA forum at that time.
