Airline News: United

Most people who sit in C on a domestic flight didn’t pay for it.

INTERESTING STORY: The Chicago Tribune reported that United is filling for Chapter 11 bankruptcy but apparently this was a misprint from their bankruptcy filing years ago. United responded with a press release saying they are not filing for chapter 11.

edit for additional news: I guess this rumor caused United stocks to plumet today.

Yep, their stock dropped 76% down to $3.00/share. It closed up around $10 after the rumor was staightened out.
