Background

Where it started: Flyertalk.com, a site for airline junkies and mileage collectors.

United (UAL)has struggled mightily since its 2011 merger with Continental—it financially lags nearly all its industry peers—and it may have to spend deeply to lure customers back, a key to competing with Delta (DAL) and American (AAL). This fantastic idea grows more outlandish when you consider that United has a cash pile near $7 billion, a global network, and a deep, veteran executive bench with a credible business plan. United needs better execution, not a court date.
