WHBM,
"Interesting to speculate therefore if United really start to be liquidated which other US airline would pick things up."
That's a good question.
They all seem to be losing money right now - CO are less unstable than most, although they've reported losses too recently IIRC. They have a stronghold at EWR (a much better airport IMHO, but not sure if all pax would agree with that), and have been building up an excellent network of regional routes. LHR would give them a dominant position on UK - New York, but I don't know if it would be worth the considerable investment for them. Can't see US or NWA making much use of the slots - maybe BMI could change themselves to USMI and go for them
