As UA will most likely sell off assets, what airline will get what? Asia routes? Australia routes? European routes? Will America West take the Airbus fleet?

UAL if they go thru BK will,sell off routes that dont make them money,also sell routes that do make them money if the price is good,close stations that dont make them money,sell gates,cut back in staffing,cut pay as much as they can,get concessions from vendors(as the vendor stand to lose as much or more)they will sell off any owned equipment for cash,and park airplanes-sell them if they can,
Bottom line is turn the airline around from the nose dive its in,come up with a new BK plan to get some help to stay afloat while doing that.
UAL isn't so big they can't go under.There are many other start up airlines that would love to see UAL go down.
UAL will do whatever they can to stay in business,And some of it can be seem ugly,mean,uncaring to its employees.But if UAL doesn't take action that meets the level called for,it may not have any employees.
