First U.S. to go under?
 

Admittedly, it's a little sadistic and negative, but part of me wonders just the same.

Which of our current U.S. airlines will be the next to go Ch. 7 (liquidation)?? Many were speculating it would be United for awhile.

My vote based on recent sentiments in a variety of venues:

1. US Airways
2. United Airlines
3. Midwest Airlines

In that order. It's apparent to me that US Airways is struggling in a major way...United, too.

Thoughts from the forum?

Most companies go into Chap. 11 before Chap. 7.

1) US Airways isn't even in Chap 11 anymore.

2) United is almost out of Chap 11.

3) Midwest was never in Chap 11 or Chap 7.

Since this post really isn't about the frequent flyer programs of the airlines specifically (although an airline going out of business can be detrimental to the health of its FF program -- but even that is by no means given) I'm going to move it to TravelBuzz where it seems a bit more appropriate.
