Thanks for pointing that out!
United is going to make less profits going forward. The cash pile is going down every year. The economy can't get much better than this, so don't expect profits to increase more than 2017. Some of you believe United can bring the RJ flying in-house. How is that possible? Is your training department capable of handling the influx of new pilots and another fleet of aircraft? No, that's why United has to buy XJT and maybe another regional. It solves many issues.
