I think you should set a more realistic goal for your company and yourself at this point. Like USAirways pre-merger, the only thing that will save United is a healthy company buying it out, don't fool yourself into thinking UA has anything other than massive debt and loses, an aging fleet, and an aging workforce to bring to the table. The only saving grace for UA right now would be a buy out. A new CEO would be like trying to patch a massive leak with a band-aid, UA is already past that point.

Oh and before you even go there, International slots and heavy iron can also be purchased at "garage sales".

Clearly you're unfamiliar with the way gojets was created and continues to operate, I do recommend you do some research, it might be eye opening.
