Since some of the 744's have had thier engines "borrowed" I figured they were still owned by UA.
Teh engines were'nt borrowed, they were repossesed; engines are typically leased separately from A/C. When Swiss Air ceased operating, ZRH aprons were crowded with A/C that had their engines repoed by the leasing companies.
