RE: United Airlines In Trouble.

The sticking point for UA, as the article points out, is their labour costs. Even if the do create timmer airline in terms of equipment, destinations, etc., they still need to cut labour, as costly move, and not a very pretty situation to be in when people might lose their jobs. I fear that if the government doesn’t step in, and if UA can’t pay a massive labour force, then the future may not be so rosey. I don’t think the partner airlines will help. I recall the when AC was in serious trouble the partners did not bail them out.

Hand I will be in CDG on November 1, small world.

AC also uses their 767’s from YVR to LHR, and I believe (at least they used to) from YVR to CDG.
