Load Factor -0.1% (Compare to Delta +0.2%) (US Air -1.1%)
On board Passengers -0.5% (Compare to delta -0.6%) (US Air -0.9%)
Nothing for UAL to be proud of....
The OP can cheerlead all he wants, but IMO the current environment (reasonable demand with reduced capacity over the past couple of years, leading to increased prices) means that all of the airlines should have seen PRASM increases. And they all did, except UA.
