We look forward to confirming the (reorganization) plan next week and exiting bankruptcy next month ready to compete with the strongest carriers.

We think we're setting the standard for performance. If you see what people have done in other bankruptcies, they've obviously looked at our contracts and things like that as a yardstick to measure their own bankruptcy process.

Bankruptcy gets you a number of tools you can use to improve your financial situation, ... We don't think there are any more tools we can use.

The numbers tell the story. Year to date in 2005, the company's operating earnings improved by over $450 million, despite fuel costs that are $1.3 billion higher than last year. When United exits bankruptcy in February 2006, we will be ready to compete aggressively with the best carriers in a way that is distinctly United.
