If you can make such a broad, sweeping generalization based on one day of heightened security, forgetting to factor in both the realities of UA's financial situation and, more importantly, US bankruptcy laws, you are clearly quite clueless as to the actual implications of less-than-expected gain this quarter for United...especially in light of the UK security issues. I mean, come-on, the money is in business travelers, and they certainly are not going to stop travelling because they can't bring their ipods on-board.
