Since you're a history buff, you no doubt know the stock crash in 1929 occurred in roughly the same amount of days as our recent decline. It led to a 10 year depression, It currently is no where near the magnitude of the 1929 crash but is a significant wild negative swing. UAL making $5 Bil is fact in 2016...I hope so! I hope the rest of United's employees get some initial bankruptcy contract repair as well. I can disagree respectfully w it being fact that we are in an excellent negotiating environment. I acknowledge the factors you bring up as valid but choose to not ignore ridiculously loud market dives. Also, I'm sure Pickett would punch you for voting no.
