Just as a frame of reference, United’s profit for the year would purchase only eight Boeing 737-800 jetliners (not including the cost of financing). UAL owns a total of 861 jetliners. With this perspective, and also considering UAL’s obligations to its shareholders, the $843 million profit is hardly exorbitant.
Correction – profit for the quarter (not the year)
