Lets see what happens next week when they report earnings. Unfortunately if they keep beating earnings estimates, I don't think they care how unhappy we [their passengers in general] are.
On the otherhand if they can't make their targets AND we're unhappy...

Absolutely not. Anyone with half a brain would know the results were going to suck big time. There are no real excuses, but its worth noting that Delta was in a similar position at this point after the NW merger. We'll see if UA can turn its operational performance around in a similar manner.

GOD HELP US ALL...if they still manage to beat the earnings estimates. More proof in Jeff's mind that he's on the right track

Meanwhile, UA's June 2012 traffic (RPM) increased 0.1% YTY on -0.3% change in capacity (ASM), resulting in +0.4% change in load factor. I see that as flat traffic, and while it doesn't actually refute the notion that UA has lost business post-3/3, it suggests that all the hoopla that took place here on FT about elites fleeing might just be that and little else.
But we'll get a better picture of that in the 2Q12 financials, when we see UA's PRASM. I think it will be flat, too, and for many people (it seems) on this board, it won't be news that they are hoping for.
