United will divide loyalties in future

摘要

Chicago-headquartered United Airlines no longer pledges allegiance to any particular air-framer, despite a fleet and order-book dominated by Boeing. "We, as a company, are going to be completely agnostic about air-planes," said Scott Kirby, president of United, speaking to an employee meeting in late September. "We're not going to be a Boeing airline or an Airbus airline, we're going to [buy from] whoever gives us the best deal."
