UAL sees gain in second-quarter unit revenue


CHICAGO (Reuters) - UAL Corp (UAUA.O), parent of United Airlines, said on Tuesday that its second-quarter mainline passenger unit revenue is likely to show an increase 4 and 5 percent year-over-year.

The parent of the No. 2 U.S. airline said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it expects its mainline jet fuel price to average $3.31 per gallon for the second quarter. The company said its operating costs, excluding fuel, likely will show a rise of 3 to 3.5 percent in the quarter.

So instead of losing $500+ million they'll only lose $400+ million in the 2nd quarter.
