They always leave out minor things like that.

If I was going to take a guess, I would say UAL will post a decent profit, offset completely by large "special items". Again.

UAL has been negative 1.4B in cash flow each year since the merger.

Yeah, little things like DAL actually worked with unions to sign joint contracts and expedite SLI for its labor groups.

How's that FA contract going at UA?

Sorry I have to be blunt, BUT you have to be a koolaid swiggin Marvin of the Highest Order to still buy the 2 years ahead line as an excuse for how bad United Continental Holdings SUCKS compared to its competition.

So we're only 2 years behind where Delta was 2 years ago.

Stock is up about 50% in the past year. Airplanes are full. So long as the bond holders keep getting their payments, no one is going to be fired- except a few hundred front line employees.
