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".
Just ignore the whole CAL example, eh? The difference between US Air and UAL is about 100 widebodies. I don't have a "goal" for my company but here is a thought. As the weeks turn into months and the months into years....you will still be flying that pos jungle jet for pos wages. That is reality my friend.
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.
Clearly, you're unfamiliar with the industry as a whole or at least still a little green. I am very familiar with the Waterski/GoJet fiasco. It has been done many times in the past. Go look up New York Air. I could give a sheet. They are flying UAL code, period, dot. UAL furloughees have a right to that flying by contract.

You can relish the supposed demise of UAL all you wish (btw, you guys are flying a little code for us, too..thanks for picking up our slack) but look at your own circumstances. I would not trade with you.
