Glenn Tilton Opportunity Quotations

United is better positioned today than anyone thought remotely possible three years ago, ... We have earned the opportunity to compete and we are moving forward.

Our plan will have to be more aggressive than it was out of court. We will need more cost savings. Work rules will have to be on the table. We have to take this opportunity to create a different and durable cost structure that allows us to compete and succeed in a different revenue environment.

We are very excited by this historic opportunity to be the first U.S. carrier to provide direct service to Vietnam in almost 30 years.

These global financial institutions see opportunity in United -- even in the midst of the ongoing brutally competitive industry environment.

The confirmation of our plan is a clear validation of the work we have done to make United a sustainable enterprise with a strong financial and operational foundation. We will leverage that foundation to take full advantage of the opportunity we have to compete for leadership in the U.S. and worldwide.
