Re: United, FAA steps up oversight.

Historically, I've always viewed UA's safety culture as strong, with them learning from their mistakes and often having step changes forward as a result. CRM being an example. This might be an opportunity for that again. Overall, I would still opt to fly United over any other Part 135 carrier. Overa...

Re: United States Essential Air Service (EAS) News and Discussion - 2023

My guess is that the Decatur Park District is just trying to run out the clock for the full 2023CY. Their goal has been to get 10,000 enplanements, and it seems like they might be on track on getting it this year--they had 1000 last month. Maybe some of the UA flyers from SPI are driving over now.

RE: Should Mutual Funds Be Illegal?

Wow. Slate totally jumped the shark on this one.

How is it even possible to say that ticket prices are 3-11% more expensive than they should be when airlines' profit margins are in that same range? Are they saying that airlines would not make a profit if mutual funds did not own their shares?
