My EPS was off the mark, I didn't use the actual quarterly.
My revised estimate for pre-tax profit is 3.35B.
United is estimating 1.5 per share, analysts estimate 1.67. Last quater we posted a 3.48 EPS on 1.5B pre tax. Therefore our profit for this quarter should fall somewhere in the 700M range. We had 2.6B in pre-tax profit leading up to Q3.
