This follows Delta reporting earnings.
United beat expectations across the board.
Joining us now to discuss is the Chief Executive Officer, Scott Kirby, right before that earnings call with investors.
Scott, thank you so much for being with us.
I want to start on the transformation in the airline industry.
Just this incredible focus on revenues coming from premium and loyalty.
Really, they doubled relative to the pace that you're seeing in the main cabin.
Can you give us some more color about why that is?
That strength across the board, and this is what I was trying to get into, and I'd love your color on this.
How much are the main cabin customers increasingly cost conscious, even as the more premium and loyalty customers seem willing to pay for quality, for the perks that come along with some of your new offerings?
You know, that deflation that you were talking about, how much do you need to see consolidation at the lower end of the offerings in order to actually bring supply into balance?
Do you expect, and you're talking about a particular niche, it makes me think you're talking about JetBlue as positioned for that.
Are you expanding the partnership that United has with JetBlue?
The first two weeks of January have been tremendous.
They broke records when it comes to revenues and ticketing, both in consumers and also business travel.
What does that say for the setup for the remainder of 2026?
Do you expect this to be an incredibly active year?
Where specifically is it good?
Is it on domestic?
Is it international?
