I agree; this article is pure crap journalism at its best.
Sure, it'd be nice to see new planes at UA, but buying planes for the sake of just "buying them" makes no sense at all.
I think there's a place for this article, but it needs to be supported by much stronger reasoning than, "other airlines are getting new planes so UA should too."
