That was what made UA go Ch 11 twice, I think, being nice like that.
1) UA has only filed Chpt11 once.
2) I'd say horrific labor relations, inefficient operations at their home hub, assets leveraged to the hilt, the disastrous "Summer of 2000" fiasco, crushing debt at bad interest rates, lack of rationalized fleet, etc.... all had a lotttttttt more to do with UA's filing than "being nice like that" on 1off fare flops.
