Thanks Mugs.
Your thoughts about an Airbus deal could very well materialize. With the problems they are having with the A-380, they could look for alternative sources of revenue by selling other jets. They have been inclined to come up with sweet deals in the past and since UAL is already an established Airbus customer it could happen. It might also be an avenue for UAL to avoid some of the leasing companies that were just stung with Airbus backing the deal. Good deal for UAL and for Airbus.
I also agree that UAL (and other legacy) management will have to keep as many of the lucrative International routes as possible. They could not possibly allow the flying these aircraft are doing today to just vanish. The revenue from international ops. subsidizing domestic opreations is going to be crucial in fending off the LCC's.
