UAL Future
 
Is there a future for UAL? Is UAL looking to improve/grow or just break even? Is UAL now or will it soon to be a place where people will want to work again? What do you think UAL's long term fleet will look like in 15-20 years? Can UAL keep pace with no new aircraft orders? Any more international cities being talked about? Does UAL have any route rights still not being used from the Pan Am purchase?
Thank you.

Good questions, but my thought exactly...who knows.

That is the 64 thousand dollar question. Hopefully the industry has a good year for everyone's sake.

SFO-Guangzhou, LAX-HKK,IAD-KWI,LAX-FRA,DEN-LHR, HKK- Ho Chi Minh, and IAD-PEK are new routes. SO they have that going for them.....which is nice. However, at some point UAL has to quit robbing domestic to fly international and BUY SOME FREAKING AIRPLANES. When will that happen? When management starts running an airline instead of a takeover target.:mad:

Maybe the employees should buy the company

Couldn't you substitute AA for everyone of those questions you asked? They are parking MD80's at a rate greater than the 737's they are to get. They are talking about selling the AAAdvantage program and now Eagle is on the block. Does this spell the end of AA and the liquidation of the assets? I don't think so but that seems to always be the analysis of UAL which is very similar to AA.

No they don't. They will just continue to outsource domestic flying to the regionals and redeploy previous domestic widebodies to international flying. The net gain is ZERO growth.
