Re: UA’s Financial Position after 9/11

Re: UA’s Financial Position after 9/11

Re: UA Expands California->Florida (LAX-TPA/RSW, SFO-RSW)

Would be great to see UA create a focus city in either TPA or MCO. Glad to see UA expanding LAX again. United was the only airline I would choose out of LAX in the 1990s and 2000s.

Re: Why United should establish a new TPA hub (or at least a focus city)

UA has an inflight base there now right? Around 200 or so? We have no pilot bases @ MCO we have many pil...
