United is a bunch of morons

[Skippy]

pony up some coin from those spare parts $$ and buy frontier.

1. it will secure denver
2. increase ( airline's favorite phrase) market share
3. pay for itself within 2-3 years
4. alpa- alpa - easy doh integration
5. similar type aircraft operation
6. they've proved proftable in the past months/quarter


Am i the only one who sees this? If you can find a way to mortgage some freaking spare parts- find a way to not let your biggest competitor in DEN beat you on your home turf. do you need alrry the cable guy to say it any clearer: GET 'ER DONE

4. Wrong

 

[Superpilot92]

didnt ual just mortgage up their spare parts for pennies on the dollar? the problem is that UAL is having trouble keeping their cash balance up above the required level as is, so they cant afford to put any money up on F9. I agree that it wold be the best thing for UAL to do but i dont think they CAN.

*****Wrong twice!*****
Frontier operating cost is lower than United, That is why Frontier makes profits every month. Under United will not work.

Profit every month?

That certainly explains why they are in bankruptcy.

Yeah-
But the good news is they're only paying 17% interest on said mortgage.

Profit had nothing to do with Frontier's bankruptcy. Frontier is in bankruptcy strictly because their credit card processing firm changed the amount (percentage) of credit card sales it withheld until a passengers travel was complete. Frontier was used to getting about 80% of that money immediately, and then the credit card firm began keeping all of the credit card money until travel was completed. Frontier basically needed to bridge that 4 or so month gap between ticket purchase and travel completed, and they did not have enough cash in reserve to cover that time, plus maintain levels that satisfied other financial obligations (aircraft leases and purchases, for example).

Frontier was able to hold their own throughout the gas crunch. Yes, they were losing money, but not enough so that they would have gone had to file bankruptcy. It was the move of the credit card firm that tipped the balance. Frontier would have emerged from all this in the same shape they are in now... profitable, with most of their aircraft still flying.
