WSJ: United Pushes to Upgrade Service
Tomorrow's Middle Seat Column is all about United.

"Because of the bankruptcy reorganization, says Goldman Sachs analyst Glenn Engel, "United should have lower costs than American and Continental, and it doesn't."" ""United stands for choice," says Chief Executive Glenn Tilton. "We want to offer choice for value received." Still, it remains to be seen if choice can be converted to cash. "With all of United's extra brands," says Mr. Engel of Goldman Sachs, "I see no sign that United has a revenue premium over American or Continental."" |
Would it be improper to put the entire article here, of course giving credit to the WSJ?

There's not a whole lot to it.
Summary: Costs are in-line with rivals - labor costs are lower due to bankruptcy negotiations, non-labor costs are higher because they couldn't do much about them in bankruptcy. Revenues - trying to get higher through p.s., ted, explus, and E+ buyups. |
