First two paragraphs I’ll give you.
Last two are speculation at its finest. |

United has $17B in cash, exactly for times like this. Kirby also has a proven track record of being aggressive in downturns. Since you seem to be implying to the contrary, what evidence do you have that United won't continue to be aggressive?

This is how it works for the doomer pessimists and United haters. If Kirby says something positive then its automatically not real and nobody believes its going to happen. Plus anyone who mentions it is a cheerleader or drinking the kool-aid. If he says we are cutting 4 or 5% of fights for a few months then its fact and the furloughs will start soon and we should "get our house in order" whatever that means.
if you have ever listen to Kirby speak you know the plan. |

It’s really only 3% a couple hundred flights off peak summer schedule.
1% comes from TLV and DBX 1% comes from the ORD fiasco. adding 130 new planes including a couple dozen 787s…..come on in the water is fine. no planned cuts headed into fall or winter. If the younger generation of new hires think there’s not gonna be furloughs, concessionary contracts at a minimum, if not worse in your careers. I’ve got swamp land in South Florida to sell you. No fear mongering get your financial house in order, hope for the best and prepare for the worst. They manage we fly! |

Exactly 100% correct, no reductions in new planes, hiring and no furloughs. Problem is in this business plans always change.

If you don't think that the airlines holding on by a thread won't get hurt if gas prices stay high you're more of a cool aid drinker than the UAL cheerleaders.

If oil prices continue to rise and gets over 200 a barrel,even if it’s temporary, some things will change, whether or not people choose to believe it or accept it is up to them. The heavy loads we are seeing now, I believe most of those tickets and plans were bought and made months ago, so you can’t rely on those numbers. We will see what this summer brings, that’s what will tip the scales. |
Not to get political, but the administration that half the country voted for need to get us out of this mess as soon as possible before irreversible damage occurs. We were doing just fine before it was decided that Iran needed to be bothered, even though no president has done so since Carter.
As the military folks say, it’s time to unfaulk what you have done. |
