In all seriousness, how do you project fuel savings without a stable cost. I understand that one could save x% by adding new planes but actual dollar savings could disappear, reappear...if oil hits $120 barrel for instance and you cost has been reduced on a new plane by 15% but actual cost goes up by 20% the actual savings vanish??? Does United still hedge on fuel?
