fate of United frequent flyer miles
Does anyone have information from a valid source as to the fate of our frequent flyer miles if United goes Chapter 11 bankrupt? And if there is no more United, will the frequent flyer miles be valid on partner airlines such as Lufthansa?

I think they SHOULD go out of business. Let them fail.
How else are these corporate cronies going to learn the consequences of foolishly leveraging up their businesses in good times and expecting Uncle Sam to bail them out when times get tough?
I'm glad that my tax money isn't going to fund any more of their stupidity. They should have known better, done a better job of risk analysis.

Methinks that United was in trouble well before 9/11. Although 9/11 hurt Delta and Southwest as well, Delta's balance sheet is flush with cash and Southwest never lost profitablilty.
And although 9/11 in particular may have been unexpected, a 9/11-type incident should not have been. Perhaps if the greedy airlines didn't penny-pinch on security before 9/11 maybe the hijackers wouldn't have been a perfect 19 for 19 in strolling onto airliners with fake ids and nobody bat an eyelid?
