You guys kill me with your biased negativity. Yes, UAL has plenty of problems. But to spend two pages hashing possible spins is ridiculous. If Delta had put in the same order, the latest and greatest would have gone on and on about new routes, new bidding cycles, reduced upgrade times and all the chest beating that goes with "I work for the best airline".

This isn't to start a flame, merely to call foul.

Nevermind......, the future will playout according to its own plans. Rest assured labor won't have squat to say about it.
