For everyone else, United just outsourced over a 1000 jobs, including mechanics positions (no offence to anyone who works for an outsourcing firm, but you don't exactly have sterling reputations.)
Hope you all booked codeshares.
Based on your previous comments if one of those planes that was serviced by an outsourced (or 3rd party) mechanics crashes, UA should face no consequences because it was an "unidentified 3rd party" making the mistake.
Hopefully this will make you see the problem with your arguments.
Also, even several of the pro-United lawyers have pointed out that 399.88 overrides contract law. Therefore, intend or knowledge SHOULD not matter in the DOT decision. So all this discussion about DKK, websites, CC, billing address is completely irrelevant.
