You really should predict you own. Glen Tilton and the UAL BoD espoused a strategy to merge at all cost years ago. Surely, you don't refute that? You haven't had a new aircraft in almost a decade. You don't have any aircraft on order until 2016, therefore you don't have any aircraft on order. I couldn't predict your future, only that it was not yours; it was CAL's or USAirway's. You should be thankful.

The only people having problems predicting the future of a UAL pilot, is the UAL pilot. I would have quit years ago.
