Fuel costs should be up.
Costs don't matter when you generate enough revenue to overcome the costs. This isn't the GFC, yet. Don't jump headfirst into a yes vote unless the contract merits it.
I'll read it and then decide. All of the rumors out there look like bovine excrement.
But I'll also weigh the economic landscape, which is deteriorating daily.
As for fuel costs, United filed an 8-K dated Maym16 with an update on Q2. The new fuel cost estimate should freak anyone out. It went from $3.43/gal to $4.02/gal.
I don't know if this link will work:
