If nuclear war breaks out, I don't think international flight revenue will be very high on the list of concerns. I think we'd be more worried about every single one of our hubs being vaporized, and not the 78's safe and sound in Tahiti.

Tell me about a time you faced a difficult situation?

Make sure to use the STAR format in your answer.

Its kind of like just joking but seriously ........We know the Situation, the Task, your two possible courses of Action, think about how you would tell the story with different results. I'm serious it might help you.

First time i've seen actual numbers. Looks like UAL is more vulnerable than I thought if the SHTF.

Typical weak response from you.

UAL has less domestic market share from the numbers you posted. If international collapses, they are more vulnerable. Sorry you don't like facts.
