That is not what United makes its money from - and that's not what companies are buying. Your understanding of how United was making money before all of this is not accurate. If you're going to pin an airline's problems on corporate contracts, well, Delta has the exact same types of arrangements. Should do some more research before you make inaccurate investment decisions.

I invested based on the rationale I provided above (UAL profitability critically depends on prenegotiated Y contracts in TPAC with likes of Apple that needs to be in China - DAL does not have this exposure). If I am wrong, I have missed large opportunity (UAL fell to a quarter of its peak value). Worse, I as a flyer, I am walking away from my GS status and will spend all my budget with DAL since I do not believe that UAL will be on par, for foreseeable future.
Let us see what happens.
