UA's financial results indicate the company is succeeding at its financial goals.

While UA's int'l RASM declines are more than 5% in every global region, UA managed to grow domestic capacity enough to offset RASM weakness in the US.
UA saved $1 billion in fuel expense.
UA also is shrinking its regional operation in favor of more mainline capacity.
US airlines clearly are reaping the benefits of the low cost fuel environment and strong domestic demand.
