Specifically, it seems like the CARES Act loan that United got included a clause that allowed the Treasury to purchase some amount of shares based on how much money United used. The Treasury appears to since have sold the shares? At any rate, this does appear to be United "repaying" (some of) the loans that it received during covid. While I would argue that there are better things to spend $1.5 billion on, this is a lot better than just standard share buybacks.
- The way they promote their on time performance is interesting. Does anyone know which hub they do not lead OTP at?
- 800 daily flights to 147 international destinations is pretty amazing
- Very sad to see Linda Jojo go
- No mention of flight attendant contract negotiations
Pretty sure Linda is still at United. The announcement was a re-appointment to an FAA council, due to her role at United. Not leaving United for it.
