We’re trimming the fat so JetBlue can buy us

Say goodbye to three of the twelve daily ORD-DSM turns 😢

GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER

Meh.

First of all revenues are at an all time high according to management.

Last year we announced the same thing, cutting 4% of flights temporarily and yet those flights all came back, we still took deliveries of planes, announced a bunch of new International routes and we hired over 800 pilots just in the last 6 months of the year.

We will still hire, take planes and those flights will all come back in the fall plus the growth we will get from the new planes. We will still end 2026 with more cash than any other airline.

Its going to hurt profits, but I can imagine that the money losing airlines like Spirit, JetBlue, Frontier, American are going to get creamed this year if fuel prices stay elevated.

Mahhhh lawddd the kool-aid is strong 😂

This literally happened last year. Go back and look at what the predictions were of the derps on APC (furloughs etc) and see what really happened. United will take 135 planes total this year and keep growing and be even larger a year from now.

Its not "kool-aid" its that you can't get over your doomer hatred for United.

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.

😂 I didn’t say anything “doom haterish” towards UAL.

Sweet hypocrisy to mention 4 airlines and state “they are going to get creamed.”

Have fun being an irrelevant mouthpiece for Mr. Scott.

Koolaide? He literally just summarized factual history. Everything he said happened.

First two paragraphs I’ll give you.

Last two are speculation at its finest.
