If this is a true reflection of the state of UAL then commercial aviation is in more poo than I had realised. bmi code-share on many routes with UAL and have close commercial links with this and other major Star Alliance partners and I had felt reasonably sure that by supporting each other these airlines would pull through the latest difficulties in time. However if company's as large and well established as UAL are talking seriously about insolvency then the situation is dire. Can anyone other ppruners thrown any more light on the real state of play within UAL?
