I had an arsehole transplant but the arsehole rejected me, which is why I write such rubbish

The economic fallout
will be enormous in the U.S if and when United go under. The jobs that will be lost in Chicago and Denver alone boggle the mind. Not just the UAL employees, but the pople who clean the planes, deliver the food, make the food , put fuel on-board and on and on.
In Denver alone, they account for close to 70% of all flights. And Denver is the 8th busiest airport in the U.S. So in addition to all companies who service United flights directly or indirectly, add the U.S Government to the list. Who would need all the TSA personnel if there are no passengers flying.
While I'm against government subsidies of any kind, with the U.S in a deep recession, letting United and US Air go down the tubes would be the equivalent of pouring oil onto the fire. This is one case where everybody loses...employees, shareholders, the U.S government and passengers.
It really is a no-win situation any way you look at it.
