As most people know that frequent this board, my viewpoints are slightly biased since I am a DH employee, but this issue really bugs me (not just as an employee, but as a taxpayer). But it goes much farther than UAL matching lower ticket prices to compete with DH... How can UAL justify defaulting on their pension program and then turn around and sign an agreement with Chicago Airport Authority for hundreds of millions of dollars for airport improvements? They have seriously got their priorities crossed... and taxpayers are partially funding their bad decisions.
