I don't believe that there are hard and fast rules even in the "simple" case of revenue tickets issued by UA. In the case of IRROPS, can you be rebooked only on UA? Into *A? Into any carrier? It all...

I find it fascinating that UA and Delta can look at the same market and come to such different conclusions about middle seat blocking. I likely won't fly UA until the pandemic subsides (even if it...

Others know way more about this than I do, but a competent management team doesn't simply spend cash down to zero and then declare bankruptcy and liquidate, right? Unless UA sees a reasonable path to...

I would not be so optimistic late in a presidential election year. The "US government" might not operate in ways that are entirely rational or expected.

I don't see how people are optimistic regarding UA's survival as an independent airline. Sure, it could work out, but any prediction is guesswork. There's a very real possibility of a serious...

I agree 100%.

UA needs to be bailed out. The damage to the economy will be too severe if they go under. The damage to cities like Houston and Denver will be severe.

But UA shareholders do not...

No one can blame UA for weather. That's silly.

The larger problem is lack of CSRs and especially, very high load factors. It takes three days to recover from a weather event because there is no...
