"In Bankruptcy Court today, we supported a 30-day extension for the Company to propose a workable restructuring plan for United.  We expect the Company to take advantage of this grace period to address in a sincere and productive manner the serious issues confronting the pilots.

We will need the answer to this question during the next several weeks or we will be compelled to explore other solutions."
