Re: Icahn Takes 9.9% Stake in JetBlue

Wasn’t he banned from dealing with airlines??? No He will NOT be looking to take over the airline or strip assets, he will be looking for management to figure out how to actually run the airline properly as many of us on here have been calling for. That will boost share prices which will make him m...

based on what UA has said internally, almost all the routes are -550, which is waaaay better.

Re: United upgrading in COS

I remember back in the mid 90s UA sending some heavy metal (DC-10s) down to COS from DEN.

UA kinda hit the jackpot when they started the 10s into COS, as N757 says it was a...
