Gentlemen, I see your not CO flyers... perhaps you might be interested to learn the only 2 domestic top 10 carriers making money are the 2 you speculate win go under. Both CO and WN have much LOWER labor costs than the airlines you feel will dominate. I would also point out that UA already had junk bond status debt before this tragedy. I would disagree completly with your economic predictions. UA will have to pay more to fund their debt, because of their poor financial status. The planes sitting longer will hurt all airlines... but it will hurt the financially weak the most.
