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?

US isn't going to go Chapter 7, for goodness' sakes. It's in better shape than UA.
I thought UA would liquidate already, but now I'm not so sure. It will shrink but not die.
Consolidations/mergers are much more likely than liquidations from this point.
