They do?
IMO, if it weren’t for the loan guarantee (which still is “conditional,”) I’d think US would go bust long before UA. FWIW, I think UA will survive for many years to come.</font>

GE Capital wouldn't have volunteered to finance all those brand new aircraft (RJs) unless they have some confidence that US will survive or someone else will lease them.
Granted, US is not out of the woods yet, but I think they have a decent shot.

I am sticking and increasing my flights because it is getting so much easier to upgrade recently since so many of the Real 1Ks are jumping to AA. I hope they keep running and make more room for the Real Loyalists.

Sticking ... haven't seen a better
alternative, and with the perks of 1K,
I'd have to see a significantly better
and more stable situation before I'd jump.

For now anyway. As UA shrinks, I think AA will become the new Chitown airline. They already have pretty much schedule parity with UAL right now.

I'm going to stick around as well but also cover my bases just in case...
Since I expect to fly about 100K this year, I plan to earn 1P during the first 6 months thie year and then ask for a comp or do something like a Plat challenge to earn status on NW or AA.
I was planning to go for 1K on UA until they changed the SWU rules...now I don't see the benefit of 1K over 1P

Ok gang. I know that things are not great. But, we need you. Think of all those UA agents that have made a difference in your day. Its DO or DIE. We need you now.
Think of that kind UA person that went out of the way for you. (Yes, thats is the job)Would AA have done it for you. Please stand with us. Dont walk away. All days are not the best. But still, think of the day they cared about your meeting, your kids birthday, your vacation. I know you have all had some, or you wouldn't still be here. Please, stand by us.. We need you more than ever. Thanks for you time.... IND CORI
