                               PART I
                               ------

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

     UAL Corporation ("UAL" or the "Company") was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware on December 30, 1968. The world
headquarters of the Company are located at 1200 East Algonquin Road,
Elk Grove Township, Illinois 60007.  The Company's mailing address is
P.O. Box 66919, Chicago, Illinois 60666.  The telephone number for
the Company is (847) 700-4000.

     The Company is a holding company and its principal subsidiary is
United Air Lines, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("United"), which is
wholly owned.  United accounted for virtually all of the Company's
revenues and expenses in 1998.  United is a major commercial air
transportation company, engaged in the transportation of persons,
property and mail throughout the United States and abroad.

Airline Operations
- ------------------

     During 1998, United carried, on average, more than 238,000
passengers per day and flew more than 125 billion revenue passenger
miles.  It is the world's largest airline as measured by revenue
passenger miles flown, providing passenger service in 28 countries.

     United has a global network of major connecting airports:
Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Miami,
Frankfurt, London, Tokyo, and Toronto.  This network of major
connecting airports is designed to fly travelers between North
America (domestic segment) and the Pacific, Latin America and Europe
(international segment).  Operating revenues attributed to United's
North America segment were approximately $ 12.0 billion in 1998,
$11.2 billion in 1997, and $10.7 billion in 1996.  Operating revenues
attributed to United's international segment were approximately $5.5
billion in 1998, $6.1 billion in 1997, and $5.6 billion in 1996.

     Since October 1994, United has operated a service, United
Shuttle(R) within its domestic segment.  This service is designed to
compete with low-cost carriers on routes fewer than 750 miles.  While
United Shuttle is principally concentrated on the West Coast, it has
also expanded into the Denver market.  United Shuttle offers
approximately 466 daily flights on 25 routes between 21 cities in the
western United States. United Shuttle provides critical feed traffic,
at competitive prices, for United.

     Pacific.  Via its Tokyo hub, United provides passenger service
between its U.S. gateway cities (Chicago, Honolulu, Los Angeles, New
York, San Francisco and Seattle) and the Asian cities of Bangkok,
Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore.  United also provides
nonstop service between Chicago and Hong Kong; between San Francisco
and Hong Kong, Osaka and Taipei; between Los Angeles and Hong Kong
and Osaka; and between Honolulu and Tokyo.  Additionally, United
provides service between Hong Kong and Bangkok.  Service between
Delhi and Hong Kong will be terminated in April 1999.

     During 1998, the U.S. and Japan entered into a new air services
agreement providing that certain carriers, including United, will
have no limits on the number of frequencies they can operate,
permitting code-sharing between U.S. and Japanese carriers, and
settling long-standing disputes regarding the utilization of "beyond
Japan" flying rights.  United holds significant traffic rights beyond
Japan; these rights, when economic conditions improve, will allow
United to add service from Japan to other Asian points.

     United serves the South Pacific market with flights between
Sydney and each of Los Angeles and San Francisco, and between Los
Angeles and each of Auckland and Melbourne.  In 1998, United was the
leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific in terms of available seat miles.
United's Pacific operations accounted for 16% of United's revenues in
1998.

     Atlantic.  United provides nonstop passenger service between
seven U.S. cities and London, as well as service between London and
Amsterdam; nonstop service between Paris and each of Chicago, San
Francisco, and Washington Dulles; nonstop service between Washington
Dulles and each of Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Milan and Munich;
and nonstop service between Chicago and each of Dusseldorf and
Frankfurt.  In April 1998, United initiated a second nonstop flight
between Chicago and London Heathrow and operates a third flight on a
seasonal basis.  In 1998, United's Atlantic operations accounted for
11% of United's revenues.  In 1999, new service between Boston and
London will be added, but service between London and Delhi will be
terminated.  Possible trans-Atlantic service from the U.S. to Delhi
is under consideration.

     The European Commission is investigating transatlantic
alliances, including the alliance between United, Lufthansa, and SAS,
and the impact that this and similar alliances may have upon
competition.  The Commission has proposed certain conditions, such as
frequency reductions, slot forfeitures, prohibitions on combining
frequent flyer programs, and restrictions on display screens of
computer reservation systems, which, if implemented, may impair the
efficiency of United's alliance with Lufthansa and SAS.

     Latin America.  United provides passenger service between Miami
and each of Buenos Aires, Caracas, Lima, Montevideo (one stop), Rio
de Janeiro, Santiago and Sao Paolo; between Los Angeles and each of
Guatemala City, Mexico City, and San Salvador; between New York and
each of Buenos Aires, Caracas, Sao Paolo, and San Juan; between
Chicago and each of Buenos Aires, Mexico City, San Juan, and Sao
Paolo; and between Mexico City and each of San Francisco and
Washington Dulles. United also provides service between Costa Rica
and Mexico City.  In July 1998, nonstop service was added between
Washington Dulles and San Salvador, but was cancelled effective
January 16, 1999.  In 1998, United's Latin America operations
accounted for 5% of United's revenues.

     Financial information relative to the Company's operating
segments can be found in Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in this Form 10-K.

     Alliances.  United has formed bilateral alliances with other
airlines to provide its customers more choices and to participate
worldwide in markets that it cannot serve directly for commercial or
governmental reasons.  An alliance is a collaborative marketing
arrangement between carriers which can include joint frequent flyer
participation, coordination of reservations, baggage handling, and
flight schedules, and code-sharing of operations.  "Code-sharing" is
an agreement under which a carrier's flights can be marketed under
the two-letter airline designator code of another carrier.  Through
an alliance, carriers can provide their customers a seamless global
travel network under their own airline code.  United now participates
in a multilateral alliance, the STAR Alliance(TM).

     The Star Alliance, of which United is a founding member,
includes Lufthansa, Air Canada, SAS, Thai Airways, and Varig.  The
Star Alliance is an integrated worldwide transport network that
provides customers with global recognition and a wide range of other
benefits.  The Star Alliance should enable its member carriers to
more effectively compete with other worldwide alliances.  In May
1998, Air New Zealand and Ansett Australia announced their plans to
join the Star Alliance, effective April 1999.  All Nippon Airways is
expected to join in October 1999.

     Other bilateral alliance air carriers include Aeromar, Air New
Zealand, All Nippon, ALM Antillean, Aloha, British Midland, Cayman
Airways, Continental Connection, Emirates, Gulfstream International,
Mexicana, Saudi Arabian, and TW Express.  United holds integrated
antitrust immunity with Lufthansa and SAS, and bilateral immunity
with Air Canada.

     In April 1998, United and Delta Air Lines announced a tentative,
seven year bilateral alliance which included code-sharing, reciprocal
participation in their frequent flyer programs, and coordination of
marketing efforts.  That agreement was mutually terminated as of
February 1, 1999, with the exception of reciprocal participation in
each carrier's frequent flyer program.  The reciprocal frequent flyer
participation was implemented in September 1998.

     In addition, United has a marketing program in North America,
known as the United Express(R), under which independent regional
carriers, utilizing turboprop equipment and regional jets, feed
United's major airports and international gateways. The carriers in
the United Express program provide service to United at 181 airports.

     Cargo Service.  In 1998, United's cargo division accounted for
approximately 5% of the Company's operating revenues.  United
operates all-cargo service between the U.S. and Asia with four DC10-
30F freighter aircraft.  A large cargo transfer facility was opened
in Honolulu during the second quarter of 1998.  The Hawaii facility
is expected to be a major connection point for Japanese traffic to
and from the U.S. mainland, and for local traffic in and out of
Hawaii.

     Frequent Flyer Program.  United established the Mileage Plus(R)
frequent flyer program to retain and develop passenger loyalty by
offering awards to frequent travelers.  Mileage Plus members earn
mileage credit for flights on United, United Shuttle, United Express
and certain other participating airlines, or for utilizing the goods
and services of other program participants, such as hotels, car
rental companies and bank credit card issuers.  Mileage credits can
be redeemed for free, discounted or upgraded travel awards on United
and other participating airlines, or for other travel industry
awards.

     Travel awards can be redeemed at the "Standard" level for any
unsold seat on any United flight to every destination served by
United.  Redemption at the "Saver" award level, however, is
restricted with expiration dates, blackout periods and capacity
controlled bookings, thereby limiting the use of Saver awards on
certain flights.

     When a travel award level is attained, liability is recorded for
the incremental costs of accrued credits based on expected
redemptions.  United's incremental costs include the additional costs
of providing service for what would otherwise be a vacant seat, such
as fuel, meal, personnel and ticketing costs.  The incremental costs
do not include any contribution to overhead or profit.

     At December 31, 1998, the estimated number of outstanding awards
was approximately 6.1 million, as compared with 6.2 million at the
end of the prior year.  United estimates that 4.6 million of such
awards will ultimately be redeemed and, accordingly, has recorded a
liability amounting to $195 million, which is unchanged from the
previous year.  Based on historical data, the difference between the
awards expected to be redeemed and the total awards outstanding
arises because:  (1) some awards will never be redeemed, (2) some
will be redeemed for non-travel benefits, and (3) some will be
redeemed on partner carriers.

     The number of Mileage Plus awards used on United in 1998 was 2.1
million, compared to 1.8 million in 1997 and 1.5 million in 1996.
Such awards represented 9% of United's total revenue passenger miles
in 1998, 8% in 1997, and 7% in 1996.  These low percentages, as well
as seat availability restrictions on the use of Saver awards (the
most popular redemption), kept displacement, if any, of revenue
passengers by users of Mileage Plus awards to a minimum.

Industry Conditions
- -------------------

     Seasonality.  Air travel business is subject to seasonal
fluctuations.  United's first- and fourth-quarter results normally
are affected by reduced travel demand in the fall and winter, and
United's operations are often affected adversely by winter weather.
Thus, operating results for the Company are generally better in the
second and third quarters.

     Competition.  The airline industry is highly competitive.  In
domestic markets, new and existing carriers are free to initiate
service on any route.  United's domestic competitors include all of
the other major U.S. airlines as well as regional carriers, some of
which have lower cost structures than United.

     In its international service, United competes not only with U.S.
carriers but also with national flag carriers of foreign countries,
which in certain instances enjoy forms of governmental support not
available to U.S. carriers.  Competition on certain international
routes is subject to varying degrees of governmental regulations (see
"Government Regulation").  United has advantages over foreign air
carriers in the United States because of its ability to generate U.S.
origin-destination traffic from its integrated domestic route
systems, and because foreign carriers are prohibited by U.S. law from
carrying local passengers between two points (known as cabotage) in
the United States.  United experiences the same restriction in
foreign countries.

     In addition, U.S. carriers are often constrained from carrying
passengers to points beyond designated international gateway cities
due to limitations in air service agreements or restrictions imposed
unilaterally by foreign governments.  To compensate for these
structural limitations, U.S. and foreign carriers have entered into
alliances and marketing arrangements which allow the carriers to
provide feed to each other's flights.  (See "Airline Operations -
Alliances")

     Distribution Channels.  Travel agents account for a substantial
percentage of United's sales.  In November 1998, as part of its
ongoing effort to control costs, United capped at $100 the maximum
commission payable for international travel purchased in the U.S. or
Canada for travel outside those countries.

     The use of electronic distribution systems is also an important
cost control initiative of United.  United continues to expand the
capabilities of its web site and observed an increase in 1998 in its
internet bookings.  The U.S. government and the European Commission
are considering placing restrictions on the Internet products offered
directly by the airlines as they also review the larger issue of
restrictions on computer reservation systems.

Government Regulation
- ---------------------  

     General.  All carriers engaged in air transportation in the
United States are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of
Transportation ("DOT").  The DOT has authority to: issue
certificates of public convenience and necessity for domestic air
transportation and, through the Federal Aviation Administration
("FAA"), air-carrier operating certificates; authorize the provision
of foreign air transportation by U.S. carriers; prohibit unjust
discrimination; prescribe forms of accounts and require reports from
air carriers; regulate methods of competition, including the
provision and use of computerized reservation systems; and administer
regulations providing for consumer protection, including regulations
governing the accessibility of air transportation facilities for
handicapped individuals.  United holds certificates of public
convenience and necessity, as well as air-carrier operating
certificates, and therefore is subject to DOT regulations.  The FAA
administers the U.S. air traffic control system and oversees aviation
safety issues.

     United's operations require licenses issued by the aviation
authorities of the foreign countries that United serves.  Foreign
aviation authorities may from time to time impose a greater degree of
economic regulation than exists with respect to United's domestic
operations. United's ability to serve some foreign markets and its
expansion into many of these markets are presently restricted by lack
of aviation agreements to allow such service or, in some cases, by
the restrictive terms of such agreements.

     In connection with its international services, United is
required to file with the DOT and to observe tariffs establishing the
fares charged and the rules governing the transportation provided.
In certain cases, fares and schedules require the approval of the
relevant foreign governments.  Shifts in United States or foreign
government aviation policies can lead to the alteration or
termination of existing air service agreements between the U.S. and
other governments, and could diminish the value of United's
international route authority.  United's operating rights under the
air services agreements may not be preservable in such cases.

     Airport Access.  Take-off and landing rights ("slots") at
Chicago O'Hare International Airport, New York John F. Kennedy
International, New York LaGuardia and Washington Reagan National
airports, are limited by the "high density traffic rule."  Under this
rule, slots may be bought, sold or traded.  The DOT, however, can
require carriers to relinquish slots for reallocation if they fail to
meet certain minimum-use standards.

     For the past few years, the DOT has been confiscating slots from
incumbent carriers at Chicago O'Hare, including United, to provide
more opportunities for foreign carriers.  In 1997, the DOT began
creating slots at certain slot-controlled airports to allow the entry
of "new entrant" carriers. United holds a sufficient number of slots
at airports subject to the high-density rule, but its ability to
expand could be constrained if sufficient additional slots are not
available on satisfactory terms.

     On February 9, 1999, federal transportation officials announced
a plan to abolish, over a five year period, the high density traffic
rule at Chicago's O'Hare and New York's Kennedy and Laguardia
airports.  The plan requires Congressional action.  It is too early
to determine what impact, if any, this proposal would have on the
Company if enacted.

     United currently has a sufficient number of leased gates and
other airport facilities, but expansion by United may be constrained
at certain airports by insufficient availability of gates on
attractive terms or other factors, such as noise restrictions.

     Safety.  The FAA has regulatory jurisdiction over flight
operations generally, including equipment, ground facilities,
maintenance, communications and other matters.  United's aircraft and
engines are maintained in accordance with the standards and
procedures recommended and approved by the manufacturers and the FAA.

     From time to time, the FAA issues airworthiness directives
("ADs") which require air carriers to undertake inspections and to
make unscheduled modifications and improvements on aircraft, engines
and related components and parts.  The ADs sometimes cause United to
incur substantial, unplanned expense when aircraft or engines are
removed from service prematurely in order to undergo mandated
inspections or modifications.  The issuance of any particular AD may
have a greater or lesser impact on United, compared to its
competitors, depending upon the equipment covered by the directive.
Civil and criminal sanctions may be assessed for not complying with
the ADs.

     Environmental Regulations.  The Airport Noise and Capacity Act
of 1990 ("ANCA") requires the phase-out by December 31, 1999 of Stage
2 aircraft operations, subject to certain waivers.  The "Stage 2" and
"Stage 3" terminology is industry vernacular referring to permissible
noise levels under various aircraft operating conditions.  The
specific noise limitations are technical, but in general, Stage 3
aircraft will produce less overall noise than Stage 2 aircraft.  By
the year 2000, all commercial aircraft within the United States must
meet the stricter Stage 3 noise requirements or be grounded.

     United will generally meet Stage 3 requirements by retiring
Stage 2 aircraft and replacing some with newer Stage 3 aircraft, and
by retrofitting the remaining Stage 2 aircraft with special equipment
(known in the industry as "hushkits").  Most of the hushkits will be
acquired through a swap of retired or retiring DC10-10 aircraft.  The
cost of acquiring the remaining hushkits is included in the Company's
capital commitments disclosed under "Liquidity and Capital Resources"
of Item 7.
     
     Federal and state environmental laws require that underground
storage tanks (USTs) be upgraded to new construction standards and
equipped with leak detection.  These requirements are phased in based
on the age, construction and use of existing tanks.  United operates
a number of underground and above-ground storage tanks throughout its
system.  They are used for the storage of fuels and deicing fluids.
A program for the removal or upgrading of USTs, ongoing since 1987,
was completed in 1998.

     United has been identified as a potentially responsible party in
some state and federal recovery actions involving soil and groundwater
contamination.  United estimates the total cost of remediation to
range from $43 million to $79 million.

     The EPA and FAA signed a Memorandum of Agreement in February 1998
to develop a voluntary process with the airline industry to reduce
emissions that lead to ozone formation.  This MOA includes a proposal
that carries a "voluntary engine retrofit program" to reduce emissions
from aircraft engines.  As a result of this MOA, the carriers, EPA,
FAA and local and state regulators have been involved in negotiations
on the scope and content of the voluntary program.  Despite proposals
from the airline industry, this process has not yet resulted in an agreed
program.

     Other Government Matters.  Other federal agencies with
jurisdiction over certain aspects of United's operations include the
Department of Justice (Antitrust Division and Immigration and
Naturalization Service); the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission;
the Department of Labor (Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs of
the Employment Standards Administration); the National Mediation
Board; the National Transportation Safety Board; the Treasury
Department (U.S. Customs Service); the Federal Communications
Commission (use of radio facilities by aircraft); and the United
States Postal Service (carriage of domestic and international mail).
United is also subject to varying degrees of regulation by foreign
governments.  In time of war or certain other national emergencies,
the U.S. government may require United to provide airlift services
under the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program.

Fuel
- ----

     United's results of operations are significantly affected by the
price and availability of jet fuel.  It is estimated that every $.01
change in the average annual price-per-gallon of jet fuel causes a
change of approximately $31 million in United's annual fuel costs.
The average price per gallon of jet fuel in 1998 declined 15.1%.
Changes in fuel prices are industry-wide occurrences that benefit or
harm United's competitors as well as United, although fuel-hedging
activities may affect the degree to which fuel-price changes affect
individual companies.  To assure adequate supplies of fuel and to
provide a measure of control over fuel costs, United ships fuel on
major pipelines and stores fuel close to its major hub locations.

Insurance
- ---------

     United carries liability insurance of a type customary in the
air transportation industry, in amounts which it deems adequate,
covering passenger liability, public liability and property damage
liability.  The amount recoverable by United under aircraft-hull
insurance covering all damage to its aircraft is not subject to any
deductible amount in the event of a total loss.

Employees - Labor Matters
- -------------------------

     UAL is the world's largest majority employee-owned company.  At
December 31, 1998, the Company and its subsidiaries had more than
95,035 employees.  Approximately 82% of United's employees are
represented by various labor organizations.

     The employee groups, number of employees, labor organization and
current contract status for each of United's major collective
bargaining groups as of December 31, 1998 are as follows:

Corporate Governance
- --------------------

     Background.  On July 12, 1994, the stockholders of UAL approved
a plan of recapitalization that provided an approximately 55% equity
and voting interest in UAL to certain employees of United in exchange
for wage concessions and work-rule changes.  The employees' equity
interest is being allocated to individual employee accounts through
the year 2000 under Employee Stock Ownership Plans ("ESOPs") which
were created as part of the recapitalization.  Since the ESOP shares
are being allocated over time, the current ownership interest held in
the ESOPs is less than 55%.  The entire ESOP voting interest,
however, is currently exercisable and is voted by the ESOP trustee at
the direction of, and on behalf of, the employees participating in
the ESOPs.

     As part of the recapitalization, the Company's shareholders
approved an elaborate governance structure, which is contained principally
in the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("UAL Charter").
Among other matters, the UAL Charter provides that the Company's
Board of Directors is to consist of five public directors,
two of whom are members of senior management; four independent
directors; and three directors appointed by representatives of
various employee groups, including the pilots and machinists.  

     See the Company's Proxy Statement for its Annual Meeting of
Shareholders for information concerning the processes for electing   
the directors and for the Board committee requirements.  A number of 
special shareholder and Board voting requirements were also established, 
as summarized below.

     Special Voting.  In specified circumstances
("Extraordinary Matters"), actions by UAL or United Airlines require
approval of either (a) 75% of the entire Board, including at least
one union director, or (b) 75% of the voting stock present at a
stockholder meeting.  "Extraordinary Matters" include, certain 
business transactions outside the ordinary course of business, 
significant asset dispositions, and most issuances of equity securities.  
Most issuances of equity securities are also subject to a first 
refusal agreement in favor of employees participating in the ESOPs.
     
     Other special voting requirements apply to amendments to
the UAL Charter and certain Bylaws, repurchases of Common Stock,
stock sales to employee benefit plans, and business transactions with
labor.
     
     "Sunset."  The Voting Preferred Stock (See Item 8, Note 13
to Consolidated Financial Statements) outstanding at any time
commands voting power for approximately 55% of the vote of all
classes of capital stock in all matters requiring a stockholder vote,
other than for the election of members of the Board of Directors.
The Voting Preferred Stock will generally continue to represent
approximately 55% of the aggregate voting power until the "Sunset."
The "Sunset" will occur when the common shares issuable upon
conversion of the outstanding Class 1 and Class 2 ESOP Preferred
Stock, plus any common equity (generally common stock issued or
issuable at the time of the recapitalization) and available unissued
ESOP shares held in the ESOPs or any other employee benefit plans
sponsored by the Company for the benefit of its employees, represent,
in the aggregate, less than 20% of the common equity and available
unissued ESOP shares of the Company.  For purposes of measuring the
Sunset, employee ownership is approximately 65.73% at December 31,
1998.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - ----------------------------------------------------------- This section contains forward-looking statements which are identified with an asterisk (*). Factors that could significantly impact the expected results referenced in the forward-looking statements are listed in the last paragraph of the section, "Outlook for 1999." On July 12, 1994, the stockholders of UAL Corporation ("UAL") approved a plan of recapitalization that provides an approximately 55% equity and voting interest in UAL to certain employees of United Air Lines, Inc. ("United") in exchange for wage concessions and work-rule changes. The employees' equity interest is being allocated to individual employee accounts through the year 2000 under Employee Stock Ownership Plans ("ESOPs") which were created as part of the recapitalization. Since the ESOP shares are being allocated over time, the current ownership interest held in the ESOPs is less than 55%. The entire ESOP voting interest is currently exercisable, which is voted by the ESOP trustee at the direction of, and on behalf of, the holders of the ESOP stock. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Liquidity - UAL's total of cash and cash equivalents and short- term investments was $815 million at December 31, 1998, compared to $845 million at December 31, 1997. Operating activities during the year generated $3.194 billion. Cash was used primarily to fund net additions to property and equipment and to repurchase common stock. Property additions, including aircraft, aircraft spare parts, facilities and ground equipment, amounted to $2.832 billion, while property dispositions resulted in proceeds of $452 million. In 1998, United took delivery of ten A320, sixteen A319, four B777, two B757, four B767 and five B747 aircraft. Thirty-four of these aircraft were purchased and seven were acquired under capital leases. Eight of the aircraft purchased during the year were later sold and then leased back under capital leases. Additionally, United acquired six B727 and three DC10-10 off-lease during 1998 and retired twenty-eight B737, five B747 and six DC10-10 aircraft. Consistent with a plan announced earlier in the year, the Company made payments of $459 million for the repurchase of 7.1 million shares of common stock. In January 1999, the Company completed its repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's common stock after acquiring a total of 7.7 million shares. Financing activities also included principal payments under debt and capital lease obligations of $271 million and $322 million, respectively and $154 million in aircraft lease deposits with certain banks in connection with the financing of capital lease transactions. Additionally, the Company issued $928 million in debt and used part of the proceeds to purchase $693 million in equipment certificates under Company operating leases. Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1998 were $142 million of securities held by third parties under securities lending agreements, as well as collateral in the amount of 102% of the value of the securities lent. United is obligated to reacquire the securities at the end of the contract. As of December 31, 1998, UAL had a working capital deficit of $2.760 billion as compared to $2.300 billion at December 31, 1997. Historically, UAL has operated with a working capital deficit and, as in the past, UAL expects to meet all of its obligations as they become due. In addition, UAL may from time to time repurchase on the open market, in privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, its debt and equity securities. United has available a $750 million revolving credit facility, as well as a separate $227 million short-term borrowing facility, as described in Note 8 "Short-Term Borrowings" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior Years. Operating activities in 1997 generated cash flows of $2.567 billion and the Company's sale of its interest in the Apollo Travel Services Partnership provided $539 million in cash proceeds (see "Sale of Affiliate"). Cash was used primarily to fund net additions to property and equipment of $2.812 billion and to repurchase common stock in the amount of $250 million. Financing activities also included the early extinguishment of $151 million in principal amount of various debt securities, mandatory repayments of long-term debt totaling $136 million and payments under capital leases of $147 million. In addition, the Company made $112 million in aircraft lease deposits with certain banks in connection with the financing of certain aircraft acquired under capital lease transactions and issued $597 million of enhanced pass through certificates. Operating activities in 1996 generated cash flows of $2.453 billion. Cash was used primarily to repay long-term debt and to fund net additions to property and equipment. In addition to the early extinguishment of $641 million in principal amount of various debt securities, UAL made mandatory repayments of long-term debt totaling $150 million and payments under capital lease obligations of $112 million during the year. Financing activities also included payments of $324 million for conversions of all of UAL's outstanding 6 3/8% convertible debentures, $84 million for the reacquisition of UAL's Series B preferred stock and aircraft lease deposits of $110 million with certain banks in connection with the financing of certain capital lease transactions. Net property additions amounted to $1.483 billion. Capital Commitments - At December 31, 1998, commitments for the purchase of property and equipment, principally aircraft, approximated $6.8 billion, after deducting advance payments. Of this amount, an estimated $2.7 billion is due to be spent in 1999. For further details, see Note 18 "Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Uncertainties" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Capital Resources - Funds necessary to finance aircraft acquisitions are expected to be obtained from internally generated funds, external financing arrangements or other external sources. At December 31, 1998, United's senior unsecured debt was rated BB+ by Standard and Poor's ("S & P") and Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service Inc. ("Moody's"). UAL's Series B preferred stock and redeemable preferred securities were rated BB- by S & P and Ba3 by Moody's. Results of Operations - --------------------- Summary of Results - UAL's earnings from operations were $1.478 billion in 1998, compared to operating earnings of $1.259 billion in 1997. UAL's net earnings in 1998 were $821 million ($6.83 per share, diluted), compared to net earnings of $949 million in 1997 ($8.95 per share, diluted). The 1997 earnings include an extraordinary loss of $9 million, after tax, on early extinguishment of debt and an after-tax gain on the ATS/Galileo transaction (see "Sale of Affiliate") of $235 million ($2.40 per share, diluted). Management believes that a more complete understanding of UAL's results may be gained by viewing them on a pro forma, "Fully Distributed" basis. This approach considers all ESOP shares which will ultimately be distributed to employees throughout the ESOP period (rather than just the shares committed to be released) to be immediately outstanding and thus Fully Distributed. Consistent with this method, the ESOP compensation expense is excluded from Fully Distributed net earnings, and ESOP convertible preferred stock dividends are not deducted from earnings attributable to common stockholders. No adjustments are made to Fully Distributed earnings to reflect future salary increases. A comparison of results reported on a Fully Distributed basis to results reported under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) is as follows:
December 31, 1998 December 31, 1997 ----------------- ----------------- GAAP Fully GAAP Fully (diluted) Distributed (diluted) Distributed --------- ----------- --------- ----------- Net Income $ 821 $ 1,308 $ 949 $ 1,546 ----- ------ ----- ------ Per Share: Earnings before gains on sales and extraordinary loss $ 6.83 $ 10.24 $ 6.64 $ 9.97 Gains on sales of ATS/Galileo, net - - 2.40 1.79 Extraordinary loss, net - - (0.09) (0.07) ----- ------ ----- ----- $ 6.83 $ 10.24 $ 8.95 $ 11.69 ===== ====== ===== =====
The current relationship of earnings and earnings per share as computed on a GAAP basis versus a Fully Distributed basis may not be representative of the relationship in future periods because of various factors. These factors include: the dependence of ESOP compensation expense on the common stock price; trends and commitments with respect to wages; and the increasing number of shares assumed outstanding under the GAAP basis during the remainder of the ESOP period. 1998 Compared with 1997 - - ------------------------- Operating Revenues. Operating revenues increased $183 million (1%) while United's revenue per available seat mile (unit revenue) decreased 2% to 10.07 cents. Passenger revenues increased $178 million (1%) due to a 3% increase in United's revenue passenger miles despite a 1% decrease in yield from 12.55 to 12.36 cents. Available seat miles across the system were up 3% year over year; however, passenger load factor decreased 0.2 point to 71.6%. The following analysis by market is based on information reported to the U.S. Department of Transportation:
Increase (Decrease) ------------------- Available Seat Revenue Passenger Miles Revenue Per Revenue Miles (Capacity) (Traffic) Passenger Mile (Yield) ---------------- ----------------------- --------------------- Domestic 4% 5% 2% Pacific (9%) (10%) (13%) Atlantic 15% 11% (3%) Latin America 17% 9% (8%)
Pacific yields continue to be negatively impacted by the weakness of the Japanese yen compared to the dollar during the first nine months of 1998, and the continued effects of the Asian economic turmoil on demand for travel. Yields in other international markets have been impacted by a negative pricing environment resulting from excess industry capacity and weakened economies. Cargo revenues increased $21 million (2%) on increased freight ton miles of 6%. A relatively flat freight yield together with a 1% lower mail yield, resulted in a 1% decrease in cargo yield for the year. Other operating revenues decreased $16 million (1%) due to the sale of ATS in July 1997, partially offset by increases in frequent flyer program partner-related revenues and contract sales to third parties. Operating Expenses. Operating expenses decreased $36 million (0.2%) and United's cost per available seat mile including ESOP compensation expense decreased 3%, from 9.53 cents to 9.24 cents. Without the ESOP compensation expense, United's cost per available seat mile would have been 8.76 cents, a decrease of 2% from 1997. ESOP compensation expense decreased $158 million (16%) reflecting the decrease in the estimated average fair value of stock committed to the Supplemental ESOP. Purchased services increased $220 million (17%) due to increases in computer reservations fees, credit card discounts, communications expense and Year 2000-related spending. Depreciation and amortization increased $69 million (10%) due to an increase in the number of owned aircraft and an $11 million decrease in gains on asset sales, from $23 million in 1997 to $12 million in 1998. Salaries and related costs increased $323 million (6%) due to ESOP mid-term wage adjustments which took place in July 1998 and increased staffing in certain customer- oriented positions. Aircraft fuel decreased $273 million (13%) as a result of a 15% decrease in the average cost of fuel from 69.5 cents to 59.0 cents a gallon. Commissions decreased $183 million (12%) due to a change in the commission structure implemented in the third quarter of 1997 as well as a slight decrease in commissionable revenues. Aircraft rent decreased $49 million (5%) as a result of refinancing aircraft under operating lease. Other Income and Expense. Other income (expense) amounted to $222 million in expense in 1998 compared to $265 million in income in 1997. Interest expense increased $69 million (24%) in 1998 due to the issuance of long-term debt in 1997 and 1998. Interest income increased $7 million (13%) due to higher investment balances. In 1998, foreign exchange losses increased $65 million. Because not all economic hedges qualify as accounting hedges, unrealized gains and losses may be recognized in income in advance of the actual foreign currency cash flows. This mismatch of accounting gains and losses and foreign currency cash flows was especially pronounced during the fourth quarter of 1998 as a result of the appreciation in value of the Japanese yen, relative to the U.S. dollar. This mismatch resulted in a pre-tax charge of $52 million which is included in foreign exchange losses. In addition, 1997 included a $275 million gain on the sale of ATS and a $103 million gain on the initial public offering of Galileo stock. 1997 Compared with 1996 - - ------------------------- Operating Revenues. Operating revenues increased $1.016 billion (6%) and United's revenue per available seat mile (unit revenue) increased 2% to 10.25 cents. Passenger revenues increased $877 million (6%) due to a 4% increase in United's revenue passenger miles and a 2% increase in yield to 12.55 cents. Available seat miles across the system were up 4% year over year resulting in a slight increase to system passenger load factor of 0.1 points to 71.8%. The following analysis by market is based on information reported to the U.S. Department of Transportation ("DOT"):
Increase (Decrease) ------------------- Available Seat Revenue Passenger Miles Revenue Per Revenue Miles (Capacity) (Traffic) Passenger Mile (Yield) ---------------- ----------------------- --------------------- Domestic 2% 3% 1% Pacific 3% -% 2% Atlantic 19% 20% 3% Latin America -% 2% 8%
Latin American yield was impacted by strengthening economies in Latin American countries as well as an improved mix of high-yield passengers. Strong U.S. and European economies provided a positive pricing environment resulting in an increase in Atlantic yield. Pacific yields reflect a weak Japanese economy and a stronger U.S. dollar. Domestic yield increased despite the fact that the U.S. airline ticket tax was in effect for only four months of 1996 versus ten months of 1997. Cargo revenues increased $119 million (15%) on increases of 24% in freight ton miles and 6% in mail ton miles, as a result of a new dedicated freighter operation utilizing four DC10-30s and the introduction of long-range B777-200B aircraft. A 5% lower freight yield was only partially offset by a 2% higher mail yield for an overall decrease in cargo yield of 4%. Other operating revenues increased $20 million (2%) due to increases in frequent flyer program partner related revenues and fuel sales to third parties, partially offset by the loss of ATS revenues resulting from its sale in July 1997 (see "Sale of Affiliate"). Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased $880 million (6%) and United's cost per available seat mile increased 2% from 9.33 to 9.53 cents, including ESOP compensation expense. Without the ESOP compensation expense, United's 1997 cost per available seat mile would have been 8.94 cents, an increase of less than 1% from 1996. ESOP compensation expense increased $302 million (44%), reflecting the increase in the estimated average fair value of ESOP stock committed to be released to employees as a result of UAL's higher common stock price. Salaries and related costs increased $299 million (6%) as a result of increased staffing in certain customer-contact positions, as well as mid-term wage adjustments which took effect July 1, 1997. Commissions increased $42 million (3%) due to increased commissionable revenues, partially offset by the change in the commission structure which United implemented in the third quarter of 1997. United lowered the base commission paid to travel agents from 10% to 8% (up to a maximum of $50) on all tickets purchased in the U.S. and Canada for both domestic and international travel. This action is expected to save approximately $100 million annually in commission costs. Purchased services increased $98 million (8%) due principally to volume-related increases in computer reservations fees, credit card discounts and communication charges. Aircraft maintenance increased $154 million (34%) due to increased purchased maintenance as well as the timing of maintenance cycles. Depreciation and amortization decreased $35 million (5%) despite the acquisition of new aircraft, due to lower depreciation on DC10-10 aircraft which are scheduled for retirement, gains on asset sales of $23 million in 1997 compared to $11 million in 1996, and a $30 million charge in 1996 to reduce the carrying value of aircraft seats being replaced. Aircraft fuel decreased $21 million (1%) despite a 3% increase in consumption, due to a 4% decrease in the price of fuel from 72.2 cents to 69.5 cents a gallon. Other Income and Expense. Other income (expense) amounted to $265 million in income in 1997 compared to $153 million in expense in 1996. Interest capitalized, primarily on aircraft advance payments, increased $27 million (35%). Interest expense decreased $9 million (3%) due to the prepayment of long-term debt in 1996. Interest income decreased $5 million (9%) due to lower average interest rates. In addition, 1997 included a $275 million gain on the sale of ATS and a $103 million gain on the initial public offering of Galileo stock. Included in 1996 is a $20 million charge for the settlement of litigation related to the travel agency commission cap implemented by the Company in February 1995. Other Information - ----------------- Sale of Affiliate - In July 1997, United completed the sale of its interest in the Apollo Travel Services Partnership ("ATS"), a 77% owned affiliate whose accounts were consolidated, to Galileo International, Inc. ("Galileo"), heretofore a 38% owned affiliate accounted for under the equity method, for $539 million in cash. This transaction resulted in a pre- tax gain of approximately $405 million. Of this amount, $275 million was recognized during the third quarter of 1997 and the balance will be recognized over the next 25 years, the estimated remaining life of the assets acquired by Galileo. Galileo raised a portion of the proceeds used to purchase ATS through the completion of an initial public offering of 16,799,700 shares of its common stock, representing 16.0% of its economic interest, at $24.50 per share for net proceeds of approximately $390 million. This transaction resulted in a reduction of the Company's ownership in Galileo from 38% to 32%. In accordance with the Company's policy of recognizing gains or losses on the sale of a subsidiary's stock based on the difference between the offering price and the Company's carrying amount of such stock, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $103 million during the third quarter of 1997. The Company also recorded $40 million of deferred taxes related to this gain. United continues to account for Galileo under the equity method and to purchase computer reservations services under its existing services agreement with Galileo. Labor Agreements and Wage Adjustments - The 1994 recapitalization resulted in new labor agreements for certain employee groups and a new corporate governance structure, which was designed to achieve balance between the various employee-owner groups and public stockholders. The labor agreements and governance structure could inhibit management's ability to alter strategy in a volatile, competitive industry by restricting certain operating and financing activities, including the sale of assets, the issuance of equity securities and the ability to furlough employees. Consistent with the various agreements supporting the 1994 recapitalization, in 1997, employees represented by the Air Line Pilots' Association, International ("ALPA") and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers ("IAM") ratified agreements providing for restoration of wage rates for the two groups in the year 2000 to levels that existed prior to the recapitalization in July 1994, as well as restoration of the Company's contribution to the pilots' defined contribution plan from its current rate of 1% to its pre-ESOP rate of 9% in the year 2000. On October 1, 1997, the Association of Flight Attendants ("AFA") ratified a new contract which will remain in effect through March 1, 2006. Included in the contract were lump sum payments of 4% in December 1999 and 5% in 2001, 2003 and 2005; as well as minimum 2% wage increases in 2000, 2002 and 2004. Additionally, the contract includes a series of arbitrations beginning in 2001 which can award additional compensation increases, subject to meeting Vision 2000 goals as discussed below. The agreement also provides for benefits and work rule changes and a number of service quality and productivity enhancements designed to help the Company achieve its customer satisfaction objectives. On July 17, 1998, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers ("IAM") became the collective-bargaining representative for United's approximately 19,000 public contact employees (primarily customer service and reservations sales and service representatives). In December, the Company and the IAM began negotiations regarding a contract for the affected employees. Also in July 1998, United announced its intentions to improve compensation and benefits for the Company's nearly 2,000 administrative employees hired on or after February 1, 1994 ("post-ESOP employees"). Currently, the Company's administrative employees are being paid under a two-tier wage structure which went into effect at the time of the 1994 recapitalization. Effective April 13, 2000, the two- tiers will be merged and post-ESOP employees will be paid on the same basis as those employees hired prior to February 1, 1994. In addition, on January 1, 1999, the benefits for full-time post-ESOP employees will match those of employees hired prior to February 1, 1994, including company-paid medical, dental and pension, and the benefits for part-time employees will be improved. The wage, benefit and work-rule adjustments outlined above are consistent with the Company's objective, known as Vision 2000, to put employee compensation on a competitive level with peer group compensation at the conclusion of the agreements outlined above. The ultimate cost to the Company of Vision 2000, particularly given that peer group compensation is subject to change between now and the conclusion of the agreements, is not determinable. However, as a result of these changes, the Company expects that its annual Salaries and related costs will increase at a faster rate than its major competitors from now through the year 2000. Foreign Operations - United generates revenues and incurs expenses in numerous foreign currencies. These expenses include aircraft leases, commissions, catering, personnel costs, reservation and ticket office services, customer service expenses and aircraft maintenance. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact operating income through changes in foreign currency-denominated operating revenues and expenses. Despite the adverse (favorable) effects a strengthening (weakening) foreign currency may have on U.S. originating traffic, a strengthening (weakening) of foreign currencies tends to increase (decrease) reported revenue and operating income because United's foreign currency- denominated operating revenue generally exceeds its foreign currency-denominated operating expense for each currency. By carrying passengers and cargo in both directions between the U.S. and almost every major economic region in the world and by selling its services in each local country, United attempts to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in any single foreign currency. The Company's biggest net exposures are typically for Japanese yen, Hong Kong dollars, Australian dollars and British pounds. During 1998, yen- denominated operating revenue net of yen-denominated operating expense was approximately 66 billion yen (approximately $490 million), Hong Kong dollar-denominated operating revenue net of Hong Kong dollar-denominated operating expense was approximately 1,838 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately $236 million), Australian dollar- denominated operating revenue net of Australian dollar- denominated operating expense was approximately 245 million Australian dollars (approximately $153 million) and British pound-denominated operating revenue net of British pound- denominated operating expense was approximately 73 million British pounds (approximately $122 million). United hedges some of the risk of exchange rate volatility on its anticipated future yen revenues and Hong Kong revenues by purchasing put options for each respective currency. To reduce some of the costs of this hedging program, the Company also sells call options in each currency from time to time. United continually monitors its foreign currency hedging program and is no longer entering into yen option contracts. At a point in the future, United may elect to reestablish its yen hedging program. United also attempts to reduce its exposure to transaction gains and losses by converting excess local currencies generated to U.S. dollars and by entering into currency forward or exchange contracts. The total notional amount of outstanding currency options and forward exchange contracts, and their respective fair market values as of December 31, 1998, are summarized in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. United's foreign operations involve insignificant amounts of physical assets; however, there are sizable intangible assets related to acquisitions of Atlantic and Latin American route authorities. Operating authorities in international markets are governed by bilateral aviation agreements between the United States and foreign countries. Changes in U.S. or foreign government aviation policies can lead to the alteration or termination of existing air service agreements that could adversely impact the value of United's international route authority. Significant changes in such policies could also have a material impact on UAL's operating revenues and results of operations. Airport Rents and Landing Fees - United is charged facility rental and landing fees at virtually every airport at which it operates. In recent years, many airports have increased or sought to increase rates charged to airlines as a means of compensating for increasing demands upon airport revenues. Airlines have challenged certain of these increases through litigation and in some cases have not been successful. The Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") and the DOT have instituted an administrative hearing process to judge whether rate increases are legal and valid. However, to the extent the limitations on such charges are relaxed or the ability of airlines to challenge such charges is restricted, the rates charged by airports may increase substantially. Management cannot predict the magnitude of any such increase. Update on Year 2000 Readiness - The Company, like most corporations, faces potential problems if software applications, computer equipment and embedded computer chips fail to recognize calendar dates beginning in the year 2000. The Company has developed a five- step process to achieve Year 2000 readiness: Awareness, Inventory, Assessment, Remediation, and Testing. Awareness consists of the initial recognition that a program, system, or device could be date-sensitive and susceptible to malfunction. Inventory refers to the identification and documentation of all such programs, systems, and devices. Assessment refers to the evaluation and determination of what course of action should be taken with respect to a specific program, system or device. Remediation refers to the corrective action taken, such as repairing or replacing, to avoid malfunctions. Testing consists of all activities undertaken to gain assurance that the remediated program, system or device will function as expected for dates after 1999. The Company has established a Year 2000 Program office to oversee this process. The above-referenced five-step process is being applied in four major areas. The first area consists of the information systems maintained and supported by the Company's Information Services Division, collectively referred to as information technology or "IT" systems. The IT systems include, among other things, (1) the hardware related infrastructure, which includes voice and data communications networks, and (2) mainframe and non-mainframe based software applications. The Company develops and uses these software applications in functions such as reservations, ticketing, flight scheduling, seat inventory and customer service. The second area consists of user maintained applications that generally are not supported by the Company's Information Services Division. The third area consists of operational systems and devices that include, among other things, aircraft avionics, baggage handling, aircraft ground handling, passenger loading bridges, and flight simulators. User maintained applications and operational systems and devices are collectively referred to as "non-IT systems." The fourth area consists of the Company's critical business partners which would include, among others, air traffic control systems, airport authorities, telecommunications providers, computer reservation systems, and airframe and engine manufacturers. As discussed below, the Company remains on target in completing its five-step process. The awareness and inventory phases are complete. The assessment phase is complete with respect to IT and non-IT systems, and substantial progress has been made in the remediation phase of the IT systems, and with a few exceptions for non- critical systems, substantially all IT and non-IT systems will be remediated by March 31, 1999. The assessment process is still ongoing with respect to critical business partners. IT systems. The Company remains on schedule for completing the remediation of its hardware infrastructure. Remediation and the initial system testing of the mainframe hardware and software is substantially complete, while all other hardware infrastructure, including data and voice networks, is expected to be remediated and tested by March 31, 1999. Remediation and initial testing of essentially all internally developed IT software applications has been completed as of December 31, 1998. System integration testing for all IT systems that are critical to the operations is expected to be completed by June 30, 1999, and system integration testing for all other systems is expected to be completed by June 30, 1999. Non-IT Systems. The technical assessment stage for non- IT systems is complete. Most airport systems (including aircraft ground handling equipment, customer service equipment at airports and passenger loading bridges) are not date-sensitive and therefore will not require remediation. Those non-IT systems that are date-sensitive and critical to the Company's business, such as aircraft avionics and flight simulators, are scheduled to be substantially remediated and tested by June 30, 1999. Critical Business Partners. The Company has grouped its critical business partners into three categories: strategic, preferred or commodity. The "strategic" category consists of those partners, such as air traffic control systems, airport authorities, telecommunications providers, computer reservation systems, and airframe and engine manufacturers, without which the Company would cease to operate. The "preferred" category consists of partners that have substantial interaction with the Company, but whose absence would not necessarily cause an immediate or irreversible interruption or cessation of business operations. The "commodity" category consists of those partners who provide goods or services that could be readily replaced and whose absence would not materially impact the business. The Company has been contacting its "strategic" partners and performing site visits to ascertain their state of Year 2000 readiness, and has contacted all of them as of December 31, 1998. Preferred and commodity partners are being contacted to evaluate their Year 2000 remediation programs. To date the Company has contacted a significant number of preferred and commodity partners. For those partners without programs in place or not responding, the Company may look for alternate suppliers unless a Year 2000 program is in place with a planned completion date no later than June 30, 1999. The Company is working closely with the Air Transport Association ("ATA"), an industry organization consisting mostly of North American airlines. The ATA has undertaken a study to assess the process that major domestic airports are using to achieve Year 2000 readiness. Preliminary results of that study suggest most of the larger domestic airports are making progress toward being Year 2000 compliant. Certain of the smaller domestic airports do not, as yet, have detailed Year 2000 plans in place. A similar project is underway with the International Air Transport Association to review the Year 2000 process at international airports. Current information suggests that some key international airports may be behind schedule. The Company's aircraft manufacturers have concluded that there are no flight safety issues. However, the Company continues to test its aircraft systems and to work with its manufacturers to ensure Year 2000 readiness. To date, the Company has projected that it will cost approximately $90 million ($38 million in capital spending and $52 million in expense) to make the Company Year 2000 ready. Of that total, $28 million has already been spent, while the remaining $62 million is expected to be spent in 1999. All the amounts expected to be recognized as expense in 1999 have been taken into consideration in the earnings outlook discussed in the "Outlook for 1999". A series of airline readiness reviews are planned during the second quarter of 1999 to ensure aircraft, air traffic control, airports, support groups and critical business partners are prepared for Year 2000 and can provide uninterrupted operations. By September 30, 1999, the Company will complete a risk analysis and develop risk estimates after completing the airline readiness reviews. Based on the results of the airline readiness review, the Company will develop any contingency plans that are needed. At this point in time, the Company does not have specific Year 2000 contingency plans in place. It is likely that certain international airports and air traffic control systems will not complete their Year 2000 programs by September 30, 1999. We will continue to evaluate Year 2000 readiness at these locations and develop contingency plans as needed. The Company believes that the current and planned activities to modify its systems will reduce the risks of a business interruption. A failure by its systems to be Year 2000 ready could materially and adversely impact the Company's results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. The Company also relies heavily upon its critical business partners in its normal business activities. Failure by critical business partners to be Year 2000 ready could materially and adversely impact the Company's results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. Due to the general uncertainty surrounding the Year 2000 problem, and the uncertainty surrounding the readiness of its critical business partners, the Company is unable at this time to determine if any failure will occur or if such failure will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. Readers are cautioned that the Year 2000 section contains forward-looking information. Please see the "Outlook for 1999" for a list of some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results.* Environmental and Legal Contingencies - United has been named as a Potentially Responsible Party at certain Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") cleanup sites which have been designated as Superfund Sites. United's alleged proportionate contributions at the sites are minimal; however, at sites where the EPA has commenced litigation, potential liability is joint and several. Additionally, United has participated and is participating in remediation actions at certain other sites, primarily airports. The estimated cost of these actions is accrued when it is determined that it is probable that United is liable. Environmental regulations and remediation processes are subject to future change, and determining the actual cost of remediation will require further investigation and remediation experience. Therefore, the ultimate cost cannot be determined at this time. However, while such cost may vary from United's current estimate, United believes the difference between its accrued reserve and the ultimate liability will not be material.* UAL has certain other contingencies resulting from this and other litigation and claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Management believes, after considering a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the views of legal counsel, the nature of such contingencies and prior experience, that the ultimate disposition of these contingencies is not likely to materially affect UAL's financial condition, operating results or liquidity.* New Accounting Pronouncements - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133 on the financial statements. However, it could increase volatility in earnings and other comprehensive income. Outlook for 1999 - The Company anticipates continued strong performance in 1999 largely based on expected strong U.S. economic activity. In addition, there are early indications of some modest improvement in United's Pacific revenue and profit performance. These factors are expected to outweigh the anticipated negative impact on Atlantic unit revenues and profits associated with industry capacity growth in the region. The Company expects its 1999 system capacity to grow 3%, which is less than the forecasted industry capacity growth rate. Unit revenues are estimated to range between 1% higher and 1% lower than 1998. 1999 unit costs excluding ESOP charge are estimated to be about 1% higher than 1998, based on an average fuel price of approximately 56 cents per gallon including taxes. Among the factors affecting costs will be the cap in international commissions instituted last year and the level of spending on Year 2000 (see "Update on Year 2000 Readiness"). In summary, the Company forecasts 1999 earnings to range between $10.00 and $12.00 per fully distributed share, with its internal goal being to earn $11.00 per fully distributed share. The Company's earnings per share performance will be helped by the reduction in share count stemming from the $500 million common stock repurchase program completed earlier this year. For the first quarter of 1999, the Company expects system capacity growth of approximately 2.5%, with domestic capacity growing by around 4.7%. Unit costs excluding ESOP charge are estimated to be 1% higher and unit revenues are expected to be 1% lower than the same quarter 1998. This revenue assumption is based on a continuation of recent results and current data trends that indicate a reversal of the domestic revenue weakness that began in the fourth quarter of last year and lingered into the early part of the first quarter this year. This reversal could be attributable to the dissipation of economic uncertainty and an improvement in the pricing environment following the expiration of fares sold in the aftermath of Northwest Airlines' pilot strike. Separately, the Company also benefited this quarter from the recent labor unrest at American Airlines. Based on these assumptions, the Company's expectations for first quarter earnings fall in a range around $1.35 per fully distributed share, the highest First Call estimate as of March 11, 1999. The information included in the above outlook section, as well as certain statements made throughout the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that are identified by an asterisk (*) is forward-looking and involves risks and uncertainties that could result in actual results differing materially from expected results. It is not reasonably possible to itemize all of the many factors and specific events that could affect the outlook of an airline operating in the global economy. Some factors that could significantly impact expected capacity, unit revenues, revenues, fully distributed unit costs, profits, fuel prices and fully distributed earnings per share include: the success of the Company's cost-control efforts, the outcome of negotiations on new contracts with the union groups, industry capacity decisions, the airline pricing environment, the economic environment of the airline industry, fuel prices, actions of the U.S., foreign and local governments, the Asian economic environment and travel patterns, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, and the general economic environment. With respect to the forward-looking statements set forth in the "Environmental and Legal Contingencies" section, some of the factors that could affect the ultimate disposition of these contingencies are changes in applicable laws, the development of facts in individual cases, settlement opportunities and the actions of plaintiffs, judges and juries. Some factors that could significantly impact the Company's expected Year 2000 readiness and the estimated cost thereof include: the results of the technical assessment, remediation and testing of date-sensitive systems and equipment and the ability of critical business partners, including domestic and international airport authorities, aircraft manufacturers and the Federal Aviation Administration, to achieve Year 2000 readiness. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk ---------------------------------------------- Interest Rate Risk - United's exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates relates primarily to its debt obligations and short-term investments. United does not use derivative financial instruments in its investments portfolio. United's policy is to manage interest rate risk through a combination of fixed and floating rate debt and entering into swap agreements, depending upon market conditions. A portion of the borrowings are denominated in foreign currencies which exposes the Company to risks associated with changes in foreign exchange rates. In addition, the Company has placed foreign currency deposits (primarily for Japanese yen, French francs and German marks) to meet foreign currency lease obligations designated in the respective currencies. The Company is not exposed to foreign currency risk on these deposits since unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses on the foreign currency deposits are offset by the losses or gains on the foreign currency obligations. The fair value of these deposits is determined based on the present value of future cash flows using an appropriate swap rate. The fair value of long-term debt is based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or the present value of future cash flows using a U.S. Treasury rate that matches the remaining life of the instrument, adjusted by a credit spread.

Foreign Currency Risk - United has established a foreign currency hedging program using currency forwards and currency options (purchasing put options or selling call options) to hedge exposure to the Japanese yen and Hong Kong dollar. The goal of the hedging program is to effectively manage risk associated with fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency, thereby making financial results more stable and predictable. United does not use currency forwards or currency options for trading purposes. United is no longer entering into yen option contracts. At a point in the future, United may elect to reestablish its yen hedging program.

As of December 31, 1997, United had $122 million of Japanese yen forwards outstanding with a fair value of $(29) million, $200 million yen put options with a fair value of $14 and $132 million yen call options with a fair value of $(1) million. Price Risk (Aircraft Fuel) - At December 31, 1998, the Company had contracted to purchase approximately 2% of the Company's 1999 fuel requirements at an average fixed price of $0.49 per gallon. When market conditions indicate risk reduction is achievable, United enters into fuel option contracts to reduce its price risk exposure to jet fuel. Based on projected market conditions, United does not believe risk reduction is presently achievable and is no longer entering into new option contracts. As market conditions change, so may United's hedging program. The option contracts, which involve either purchasing call options and simultaneously selling put options (collar strategy) or purchasing call options, are designed to provide protection against sharp increases in the price of aircraft fuel. In addition, to a limited extent United trades short-term heating oil futures and option contracts, which are immaterial.

At December 31, 1997, United had $458 million in purchased call contracts for crude oil with an estimated fair value of $10 million and $403 million in sold put contracts for crude oil with an estimated fair value of $(28) million.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ------------------------------------------ (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - ----------------------------------------------- (a) Basis of Presentation - UAL Corporation ("UAL") is a holding company whose principal subsidiary is United Air Lines, Inc. ("United"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UAL and all of its majority-owned affiliates (collectively "the Company"). All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated. Investments in affiliates are carried on the equity basis. Certain prior-year financial statement items have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. (b) Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (c) Airline Revenues - Passenger fares and cargo revenues are recorded as operating revenues when the transportation is furnished. The value of unused passenger tickets is included in current liabilities. (d) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments - Cash in excess of operating requirements is invested in short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments. Investments with a maturity of three months or less on their acquisition date are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Other investments are classified as short- term investments. From time to time, United lends certain of its securities classified as cash and cash equivalents and short- term investments to third parties. United requires collateral in an amount exceeding the value of the securities and is obligated to reacquire the securities at the end of the contract. United accounts for these transactions as secured borrowings rather than sales, and so does not remove the securities from the balance sheet. At December 31, 1998, United is obligated to repurchase $142 million of securities lent to third parties. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, $418 million and $440 million, respectively, of investments in debt securities included in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were classified as available-for-sale, and $241 million and $287 million, respectively, were classified as held-to-maturity. Investments in debt securities classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value based on the quoted market prices for the securities, which does not differ significantly from their cost basis. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are stated at cost which approximates market due to their short-term maturities. The proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities are included in interest income for each respective year. (e) Derivative Financial Instruments - Foreign Currency - From time to time, United enters into Japanese yen forward exchange contracts to minimize gains and losses on the revaluation of short-term yen- denominated liabilities. The yen forwards typically have short-term maturities and are marked to fair value at the end of each accounting period. The unrealized mark-to- market gains and losses on the yen forwards generally offset the losses and gains recorded on the yen liabilities. United has also entered into forwards and swaps to reduce exposure to currency fluctuations on yen- and French franc-denominated capital lease obligations. The cash flows of the forwards and swaps mirror those of the capital leases. The premiums on the forwards and swaps, as measured at inception, are being amortized over their respective lives as components of interest expense. Any gains or losses realized upon early termination of these forwards and swaps are deferred and recognized in income over the remaining life of the underlying exposure. The Company hedges some of the risks of exchange rate volatility on its anticipated future yen and Hong Kong dollar revenues by purchasing put options with little or no intrinsic value for each respective currency. The amount and duration of these options are synchronized with the expected revenues, and thus, the put options have been designated as a hedge. The premiums on purchased option contracts are amortized over the lives of the contracts. Unrealized gains on purchased put option contracts are deferred until contract expiration and then recognized as a component of passenger revenue. To reduce hedging costs, the Company sells call options in each of these currencies from time to time. At the end of each accounting period, the written call option contracts are marked-to-market and unrealized losses are recorded in "Miscellaneous, net". Interest Rates - United may from time to time, enter into swaps to reduce exposure to interest rate fluctuations in connection with certain debt, capital leases and operating leases. The cash flows of the swaps mirror those of the underlying exposures. The premiums on the swaps, as measured at inception, are amortized over their respective lives as components of interest expense. Any gains or losses realized upon the early termination of these swaps are deferred and recognized in income over the remaining life of the underlying exposure. Aircraft Fuel - United uses a combination of a collar option strategy, involving the simultaneous purchase of fuel call options with the simultaneous sale of fuel put options with identical expiration dates, and purchased call options to hedge a portion of its price risk related to aircraft fuel purchases. The collars and purchased call options have been designated as a hedge. Gains or losses on hedge positions are recognized upon contract expiration as a component of aircraft fuel inventory. In addition, to a limited extent, United trades short-term heating oil futures contracts. Unrealized losses on these contracts are recorded currently in income while unrealized gains are deferred until contract expiration. Both gains and losses are recorded as a component of aircraft fuel expense. (f) Aircraft Fuel, Spare Parts and Supplies - Aircraft fuel and maintenance and operating supplies are stated at average cost. Flight equipment spare parts are stated at average cost less an obsolescence allowance. (g) Operating Property and Equipment - Owned operating property and equipment is stated at cost. Property under capital leases, and the related obligation for future lease payments, are initially recorded at an amount equal to the then present value of those lease payments. Depreciation and amortization of owned depreciable assets is based on the straight-line method over their estimated service lives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining period of the lease or the estimated service life of the related asset, whichever is less. Aircraft are depreciated to estimated salvage values, generally over lives of 10 to 30 years; buildings are depreciated over lives of 25 to 45 years; and other property and equipment are depreciated over lives of 3 to 15 years. Properties under capital leases are amortized on the straight-line method over the life of the lease, or in the case of certain aircraft, over their estimated service lives. Lease terms are 10 to 30 years for aircraft and flight simulators and 25 years for buildings. Amortization of capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense. Maintenance and repairs, including the cost of minor replacements, are charged to maintenance expense accounts. Costs of additions to and renewals of units of property are charged to property and equipment accounts. (h) Intangibles - Intangibles consist primarily of route acquisition costs and intangible pension assets (see Note 16). Route acquisition costs are amortized over 40 years. (i) Mileage Plus Awards - United accrues the estimated incremental cost of providing free travel awards earned under its Mileage Plus frequent flyer program (including awards earned from mileage credits sold) when such award levels are reached. United, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mileage Plus Holdings, Inc., sells mileage credits to participating partners in the Mileage Plus program. The resulting revenue is recorded in other operating revenues during the period in which the credits are sold. (j) Deferred Gains - Gains on aircraft sale and leaseback transactions are deferred and amortized over the lives of the leases as a reduction of rental expense. (2) Employee Stock Ownership Plans and Recapitalization - -------------------------------------------------------- On July 12, 1994, the shareholders of UAL approved a plan of recapitalization to provide an approximately 55% equity interest in UAL to certain employees of United in exchange for wage concessions and work-rule changes. The employees' equity interest is being allocated to individual employees through the year 2000 under Employee Stock Ownership Plans ("ESOPs") which were created as a part of the recapitalization. The ESOPs cover employees represented by the Air Line Pilots' Association, International, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and U.S. management and salaried employees. The ESOPs include a "Leveraged ESOP", a "Non-Leveraged ESOP" and a "Supplemental ESOP." Both the Leveraged ESOP and the Non-Leveraged ESOP are tax-qualified plans while the Supplemental ESOP is not a tax-qualified plan. Shares are delivered to employees primarily through the Leveraged ESOP, secondly, through the Non-Leveraged ESOP, and lastly, through the Supplemental ESOP. The equity interests are being delivered to employees through two classes of preferred stock (Class 1 and Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, collectively "ESOP Preferred Stock"), and the voting interests are being delivered through three separate classes of preferred stocks (Class P, M and S Voting Preferred Stock, collectively, "Voting Preferred Stock"). The Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock is being delivered to an ESOP trust in seven separate sales through January 1, 2000 under the Leveraged ESOP, five of which have already taken place. Based on Internal Revenue Code Limitations, shares of the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock are either contributed to the Non-Leveraged ESOP or allocated as "book entry" shares to the Supplemental ESOP, annually through the year 2000. The classes of preferred stock are described more fully in Note 13, "ESOP Preferred Stock". The Leveraged ESOP and Non-Leveraged ESOP are being accounted for under AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans" ("SOP"). For the Leveraged ESOP, as shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock are sold to an ESOP trust, the Company reports the issuance as a credit to additional capital invested and records a corresponding charge to unearned ESOP preferred stock. Shares are committed to be released to employees on a pro rata basis through April 12, 2000. ESOP compensation expense is recorded for the average fair value of the shares committed to be released during the period with a corresponding credit to unearned ESOP preferred stock for the cost of the shares. Any difference between the fair value of the shares and the cost of the shares is charged or credited to additional capital invested. For the Non- Leveraged ESOP, the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock is recorded as additional capital invested as the shares are committed to be contributed, with the offsetting charge to ESOP compensation expense. The ESOP compensation expense is based on the average fair value of the shares committed to be contributed. The Supplemental ESOP is being accounted for under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Shares of ESOP Preferred Stock are legally released or allocated to employee accounts as of year-end. Dividends on the ESOP Preferred Stock are also paid at the end of the year. Dividends on unallocated shares are used by the ESOP to pay down the loan from UAL and are not considered dividends for financial reporting purposes. Dividends on allocated shares are satisfied by releasing shares from the ESOP's suspense account to the employee accounts and are charged to equity. During 1998, 2,087,531 shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock, 97,406 shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock and 2,182,628 shares of Voting Preferred Stock were allocated to employee accounts, and another 889,031 shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock were allocated in the form of "book entry" shares, effective December 31, 1997. Another 78,821 shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock previously allocated in book entry form were issued and either contributed to the qualified plan or converted and sold on behalf of terminating employees. At December 31, 1998, the year-end allocation of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock to employee accounts had not yet been completed. There were 2,334,375 shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock committed to be released and 565,823 shares held in suspense by the ESOP as of December 31, 1998. For the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, 739,598 shares were committed to be contributed to employees at December 31, 1998. The fair value of the unearned ESOP shares recorded on the balance sheet at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $141 million and $344 million, respectively. For the Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock committed to be contributed to employees under the Supplemental ESOP, employees can elect to receive their "book entry" shares in cash upon termination of employment. The estimated fair value of such shares at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $600 million and $679 million, respectively. (3) Other Income (Expense) - Miscellaneous - ------------------------------------------- Other income (expense) - "miscellaneous, net" consisted of the following:

(4) Other Comprehensive Income - ------------------------------ On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which establishes standards for displaying comprehensive income and its components. The following table presents the tax effect of those items included in other comprehensive income:

(5) Per Share Amounts - ---------------------- Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. In addition, diluted earnings per share amounts include potential common shares including ESOP shares committed to be released, and assume the conversion of convertible debentures (for periods not actually converted) and elimination of related interest expense.

(1) In December 1996, a UAL-controlled trust issued trust- originated preferred securities in exchange for shares of Series B preferred stock and recorded a non-cash decrease of $27 million in additional paid in capital invested representing the excess of the fair value of the new securities over the carrying value of Series B. Also, during 1996, the Company repurchased shares of its Series B preferred stock, resulting in increases to additional capital invested representing the excess of amounts paid to reacquire the preferred stock over the liquidation preference of such stock. These transactions had no effect on earnings; however, their net impact on UAL's equity is included in the computation of earnings per share. At December 31, 1998, stock options to purchase 1,328,912 shares of common stock were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. (6) Affiliates - --------------- United owns 32% of Galileo International, Inc. ("Galileo") through a wholly owned subsidiary. United's investment in Galileo, which owns the Apollo and Galileo computer reservations systems, is carried on the equity basis. Included in the Company's retained earnings is approximately $218 million of undistributed earnings of Galileo and its predecessor companies. The market value of United's investment in Galileo at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $1,455 million and $924 million, respectively. In July 1997, United completed the sale of its interest in the Apollo Travel Services Partnership ("ATS") a 77% owned affiliate whose accounts were consolidated, to Galileo for $539 million in cash. See Other Information, "Sale of Affiliate" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further details on the transaction. Under operating agreements with Galileo, United purchases computer reservations services from Galileo and during 1998 provided communications services to Galileo, while during 1997 and 1996 provided marketing, sales and communication services to Galileo. Revenues derived from the sale of services to Galileo amounted to approximately $13 million in 1998, $159 million in 1997 and $249 million in 1996. The cost to United of services purchased from Galileo amounted to approximately $170 million in 1998, $134 million in 1997 and $114 million in 1996. In connection with the sale of ATS, United entered into an additional services agreement with Galileo under which the Company will provide certain marketing and other services designed to increase the competitiveness of Galileo's business and to generate additional bookings and revenues for Galileo. Under this agreement, United could receive additional consideration in the sixth year following the sale, based on specified improvements in air booking revenues over a five- year period. Prior to the sale to Galileo, ATS contributed the following amounts to the Company's consolidated results, net of intercompany eliminations and minority interests:
(In Millions) Year Ended December 31, 1997 1996 ---- ---- Operating revenues $ 147 $ 239 Operating income $ 63 $ 86 Earnings before income taxes $ 50 $ 70
(7) Income Taxes - ----------------- In 1998, the alternative minimum tax ("AMT") liability of the Company exceeded the regular tax liability resulting in additional AMT credits. The federal income tax liability is the greater of the tax computed using the regular tax system or the tax under the AMT system. If the regular tax liability exceeds the AMT liability and AMT credits are available, then AMT credits are used to reduce the net tax liability to the amount of the AMT liability. The provision for income taxes is summarized as follows:
(In Millions) 1998 1997 1996 - ------------- ---- ---- ---- Current - Federal $ 113 $ 312 $ 281 State 9 55 20 ---- ---- ---- 122 367 301 ---- ---- ---- Deferred - Federal 270 178 47 State 37 16 22 ---- ---- ---- 307 194 69 ---- ---- ---- $ 429 $ 561 $ 370 ==== ==== ====
The income tax provision differed from amounts computed at the statutory federal income tax rate, as follows:
(In Millions) 1998 1997 1996 - ------------- ---- ---- ---- Income tax provision at statutory rate $ 440 $ 533 $ 339 State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit 30 46 28 ESOP dividends (33) (25) (13) Nondeductible employee meals 24 26 25 Tax credits (7) (2) (2) Other, net (25) (17) (7) ---- ---- ---- $ 429 $ 561 $ 370 ==== ==== ====
Temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to a significant portion of deferred tax assets and liabilities for 1998 and 1997 are as follows:
(In Millions) 1998 1997 - ------------- ---- ---- Deferred Deferred Tax Deferred Deferred Tax Tax Assets Liabilities Tax Assets Liabilities ---------- ------------ ---------- ------------ Employee benefits, including postretirement medical and ESOP $ 964 $ 130 $ 918 $ 156 Depreciation, capitalized interest and transfers of tax benefits - 1,937 - 1,466 Gains on sale and leasebacks 368 - 398 - Rent expense 411 - 382 - AMT credit carryforwards 198 - 137 - Other 773 789 422 470 ----- ----- ----- ----- $2,714 $2,856 $2,257 $2,092 ===== ===== ===== =====
At December 31, 1998, UAL and its subsidiaries had $198 million of federal AMT credits and $8 million of foreign tax credits which may be carried forward to reduce the tax liabilities of future years. (8) Short-Term Borrowings - --------------------------- United has an agreement with a syndicate of banks for a $750 million revolving credit facility expiring in 2002. Interest on drawn amounts under the facility is calculated at floating rates based on the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") plus a margin which is subject to adjustment based on certain changes in the credit ratings of United's long- term senior unsecured debt. Among other restrictions, the credit facility contains a covenant that restricts United's ability to grant liens on or otherwise encumber certain identified assets with a market value of approximately $1.1 billion. In addition, United had outstanding $184 million under a separate short-term borrowing facility, bearing an average interest rate of 5.50%. Receivables amounting to $358 million were pledged by United to secure repayment of such outstanding borrowings. The maximum available borrowing amount under this arrangement is $227 million. (9) Long-Term Debt - ------------------- A summary of long-term debt, including current maturities, as of December 31 is as follows (interest rates are as of December 31, 1998):
(In Millions) 1998 1997 - ------------- ---- ---- Secured notes, 5.13% to 8.99%, averaging 6.74%, due through 2014 $1,389 $1,295 Debentures, 9.00% to 11.21%, averaging 9.97%, due through 2021 785 785 Promissory notes, 5.63% to 11.00%, averaging 6.13%, due through 2000 13 70 Commercial paper, 5.42%, due through 2003 591 - Special facility bonds, 5.63%, due 2034 190 190 ----- ----- 2,968 2,340 ----- ----- Less: Unamortized discount on debt (12) (13) Current maturities (98) (235) ----- ----- $2,858 $2,092 ===== =====
In March 1998, the Company, through a special-purpose financing entity that is consolidated, issued $604 million of commercial paper to refinance certain lease commitments. Although the issued commercial paper has short maturities, the Company expects to continually rollover this obligation throughout the 5-year life of its supporting liquidity facility or bank standby facility. As such, the commercial paper is classified as a long-term obligation in the Company's statement of financial position. In addition to scheduled principal payments, in 1997 the Company repaid $84 million in principal amount of secured notes and $51 million in principal amount of debentures prior to maturity. These obligations were scheduled to mature at various times from 2000 through 2021. An extraordinary loss of $9 million, net of tax benefits of $5 million was recorded reflecting amounts paid in excess of the debt carrying value. In 1997, the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (the "Authority") issued $190 million in special facilities revenue bonds to finance the acquisition and construction of certain facilities at the Los Angeles International Airport ("LAX") which United guarantees payment of under a payment agreement with the Authority. The bond proceeds are restricted to expenditures on the LAX facilities and unspent amounts are classified as other assets in the balance sheet. At December 31, 1998, United had outstanding a total of $1.456 billion of long-term debt bearing interest rates at 22 to 47.5 basis points over LIBOR. Maturities of long-term debt for each of the four years after 1999 are: 2000 - $188 million; 2001 - $83 million; 2002 - $597 million; and 2003 - $555 million. Various assets, principally aircraft, having an aggregate book value of $1.522 billion at December 31, 1998, were pledged as security under various loan agreements. (10) Lease Obligations - ----------------------- The Company leases aircraft, airport passenger terminal space, aircraft hangars and related maintenance facilities, cargo terminals, other airport facilities, real estate, office and computer equipment and vehicles. Future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 1998, under capital leases (substantially all of which are for aircraft) and operating leases having initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms of more than one year are as follows:
(In Millions) Operating Leases Capital Aircraft Non-aircraft Leases -------- ------------ ------- Payable during - 1999 $ 869 $ 451 $ 317 2000 882 447 308 2001 865 439 399 2002 854 420 341 2003 892 413 242 After 2003 10,729 6,537 1,759 ------ ------ ------ Total minimum lease payments $15,091 $ 8,707 $ 3,366 ====== ====== Imputed interest (at rates of 5.3% to 12.2%) (1,077) ----- Present value of minimum lease payments 2,289 Current portion (176) ----- Long-term obligations under capital leases $ 2,113 =====
As of December 31, 1998, United leased 309 aircraft, 68 of which were under capital leases. These leases have terms of 10 to 26 years, and expiration dates range from 1999 through 2020. In connection with the financing of certain aircraft accounted for as capital leases, United had on deposit at December 31, 1998 an aggregate 38 billion yen ($330 million), 324 million German marks ($193 million), 60 million French francs ($11 million) and $11 million in certain banks and had pledged an irrevocable security interest in such deposits to certain of the aircraft lessors. These deposits will be used to pay off an equivalent amount of recorded capital lease obligations. Amounts charged to rent expense, net of minor amounts of sublease rentals, were $1.385 billion in 1998, $1.416 billion in 1997 and $1.424 billion in 1996. Included in 1998 rental expense was $15 million in contingent rentals, resulting from changes in interest rates for operating leases under which the rent payments are based on variable interest rates. (11) Company-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of a Subsidiary Trust -------------------------------------------------- In December 1996, UAL Corporation Capital Trust I (the "Trust") issued $75 million of its 13 1/4% Trust Originated Preferred Securities (the "Preferred Securities") in exchange for 2,999,304 depositary shares, each representing 1/1000 of one share of Series B 12 1/4% preferred stock (see Note 12). Concurrent with the issuance of the Preferred Securities and the related purchase by UAL of the Trust's common securities, the Company issued to the Trust $77 million aggregate principal amount of its 13 1/4% Junior Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") due 2026. The Debentures are and will be the sole assets of the Trust. The interest and other payment dates on the Debentures correspond to the distribution and other payment dates on the Preferred Securities. Upon maturity or redemption of the Debentures, the Preferred Securities will be mandatorily redeemed. The Debentures are redeemable at UAL's option, in whole or in part, on or after July 12, 2004, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Upon the repayment of the Debentures, the proceeds thereof will be applied to redeem the Preferred Securities. There is a full and unconditional guarantee by UAL of the Trust's obligations under the securities issued by the Trust. However, the Company's obligations are subordinate and junior in right of payment to certain other of its indebtedness. UAL has the right to defer payments of interest on the Debentures by extending the interest payment period, at any time, for up to 20 consecutive quarters. If interest payments on the Debentures are so deferred, distributions on the Preferred Securities will also be deferred. During any deferral, distributions will continue to accrue with interest thereon. In addition, during any such deferral, UAL may not declare or pay any dividend or other distribution on, or redeem or purchase, any of its capital stock. The fair value of the Preferred Securities at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $90 and $106 million, respectively. (12) Serial Preferred Stock - ---------------------------- At December 31, 1998, UAL had outstanding 3,203,177 depositary shares, each representing 1/1000 of one share of Series B 12 1/4% preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $25 per depositary share ($25,000 per Series B preferred share) and a stated capital of $0.01 per Series B preferred share. Under its terms, any portion of the Series B preferred stock or the depositary shares is redeemable for cash after July 11, 2004, at UAL's option, at the equivalent of $25 per depositary share, plus accrued dividends. The Series B preferred stock is not convertible into any other securities, has no stated maturity and is not subject to mandatory redemption. The Series B preferred stock ranks senior to all other preferred and common stock, except the Preferred Securities, as to receipt of dividends and amounts distributed upon liquidation. The Series B preferred stock has voting rights only to the extent required by law and with respect to charter amendments that adversely affect the preferred stock or the creation or issuance of any security ranking senior to the preferred stock. Additionally, if dividends are not paid for six cumulative quarters, the Series B preferred stockholders are entitled to elect two additional members to the UAL Board of Directors until all dividends are paid in full. Pursuant to UAL's restated certificate of incorporation, UAL is authorized to issue a total of 50,000 shares of Series B preferred stock. During 1998, UAL repurchased 64,300 depositary shares, at an aggregate cost of $3 million, to be held in treasury. UAL is authorized to issue up to 15,986,584 additional shares of serial preferred stock. (13) ESOP Preferred Stock - -------------------------- The following activity related to UAL's outstanding ESOP preferred stocks (see Note 2 for a description of the ESOPs):
Class 1 ESOP Class 2 ESOP ESOP Voting ------------ ------------ ----------- Balance December 31,1995 4,632,505 302,071 1,438,393 --------- ------- --------- Shares issued 2,367,575 381,044 3,073,970 Converted to common (49,618) (38,605) (89,927) --------- ------- --------- Balance December 31, 1996 6,950,462 644,510 4,422,436 --------- ------- --------- Shares issued 1,848,629 242,877 3,073,969 Converted to common (146,473) (81,127) (229,999) --------- ------- --------- Balance December 31, 1997 8,652,618 806,260 7,266,406 --------- ------- --------- Shares issued 2,011,812 177,166 3,073,969 Converted to common (213,061) (116,104) (331,620) --------- ------- --------- Balance December 31, 1998 10,451,369 867,322 10,008,755 ========== ======= ==========
An aggregate of 17,675,345 shares of Class 1 and Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock will be issued to employees under the ESOPs. Each share of ESOP Preferred Stock is convertible into four shares of UAL common stock and shares are converted to common as employees retire or otherwise leave the Company. The stock has a par value of $0.01 per share and is nonvoting. The Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $126.96 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends; the Class 2 does not have a liquidation value. The Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock provides a fixed annual dividend of $8.8872 per share, which ceases on March 31, 2000; the Class 2 does not pay a fixed dividend. Class P, M and S Voting Preferred Stocks were established to provide the voting power to the employee groups participating in the ESOPs. Additional Voting Preferred Stock is issued as shares of the Class 1 and Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock are allocated to employees. In the aggregate, 17,675,345 shares of Voting Preferred Stock will be issued through the year 2000. The Voting Preferred Stock outstanding at any time commands voting power for approximately 55% of the vote of all classes of capital stock in all matters requiring a stockholder vote, other than for the election of members of the Board of Directors. The Voting Preferred Stock has a par value and liquidation preference of $0.01 per share. The stock is not entitled to receive any dividends and is convertible into .0004 shares of UAL common stock. Class Pilot MEC, IAM, SAM and I junior preferred stock (collectively "Director Preferred Stocks") were established to effectuate the election of one or more members to UAL's Board of Directors. One share each of Class Pilot MEC and Class IAM junior preferred stock is authorized and issued. The Company is authorized to issue ten shares each of Class SAM and Class I junior preferred stock. There are three shares of Class SAM and four shares of Class I issued. Each of the Director Preferred Stocks has a par value and liquidation preference of $0.01 per share. The stock is not entitled to receive any dividends and Class I will be redeemed automatically upon the transfer of the shares to any person not elected to the Board of Directors or upon the occurrence of the "Sunset." (14) Common Stockholders' Equity - --------------------------------- Changes in the number of shares of UAL common stock outstanding during the years ended December 31 were as follows:
1998 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- Shares outstanding at beginning of year 57,320,486 58,817,480 50,718,424 Stock options exercised 382,136 840,100 500,174 Shares issued from treasury under compensation arrangements 11,944 28,224 25,949 Shares acquired for treasury (7,237,975) (3,269,393) (180,565) Forfeiture of restricted stock (7,600) (25,120) (70,488) Conversion of Series A debentures - - 7,623,092 Conversion of ESOP preferred stock 1,316,786 911,300 352,929 Other 18,876 17,895 (152,035) ---------- ---------- ---------- Shares outstanding at end of year 51,804,653 57,320,486 58,817,480 ========== ========== ==========
During 1998 and 1997, the Company repurchased 7,061,109 and 2,881,092 shares of common stock, respectively, at a total purchase price of $459 million and $250 million, respectively. In connection with the Company's stock repurchase plan, UAL sold equity put options, which entitle the holders to sell shares of UAL common stock to the Company at specified prices. At December 31, 1998, 500,000 put options were outstanding at a strike price of $64.04. These put options were exercised in January. (15) Stock Options and Awards - ------------------------------ The Company has granted options to purchase common stock to various officers and employees. The option price for all stock options is at least 100% of the fair market value of UAL common stock at the date of grant. Options generally vest and become exercisable in four equal, annual installments beginning one year after the date of grant, and generally expire in ten years. As a result of the 1994 recapitalization, all outstanding options became fully vested at the time of the transaction and the holders of such options became eligible to utilize the cashless exercise features of stock options. Under a cashless exercise, the Company withholds, at the election of the optionee, from shares that would otherwise be issued upon exercise, that number of shares having a fair market value equal to the exercise price and/or related income taxes. For outstanding options eligible for cashless exercise, changes in the market price of the stock are charged (credited) to earnings currently. The expense (credit) recorded for such eligible options was $(7) million in 1998, $14 million in 1997 and $15 million in 1996. Stock options which were outstanding at the time of the recapitalization are exercisable for shares of old common stock, each of which is in turn converted into two shares of new common stock and $84.81 in cash upon exercise. Subsequent to the recapitalization, the Company granted stock options which are exercisable for shares of new common stock. The Company has also awarded shares of restricted stock to officers and key employees. These shares generally vest over a five-year period and are subject to certain transfer restrictions and forfeiture under certain circumstances prior to vesting. Unearned compensation, representing the fair market value of the stock at the measurement date for the award, is amortized to salaries and related costs over the vesting period. During 1997, 5,000 shares of restricted stock were issued from treasury. No shares were issued in 1998 and 1996. As of December 31, 1998, 221,040 shares were restricted and still nonvested. Additionally, 309,120 shares were reserved for future awards under the plan. SFAS No. 123 ("Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation") establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock options. The Company has elected to continue using the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed in APB 25, as permitted by SFAS No. 123. Had compensation cost for awards been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have instead been reported as the pro forma amounts indicated below:
1998 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- Net income (millions) As reported $ 821 $ 949 $ 533 Pro forma $ 812 $ 944 $ 531 Basic earnings per share As reported $12.71 $14.83 $ 7.57 Pro forma $12.55 $14.75 $ 7.55 Diluted earnings per share As reported $ 6.83 $ 8.95 $ 5.06 Pro forma $ 6.74 $ 8.94 $ 5.07
The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted shares issued was $87.44 for shares issued in 1997.

(16) Retirement and Postretirement Plans - ----------------------------------------- The Company has various retirement plans, both defined benefit and defined contribution, which cover substantially all employees. The Company also provides certain health care benefits, primarily in the U.S., to retirees and eligible dependents, as well as certain life insurance benefits to retirees. The Company has reserved the right, subject to collective bargaining agreements, to modify or terminate the health care and life insurance benefits for both current and future retirees. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the benefit obligation and plan assets, the funded status and the amounts recognized in the statement of financial position for the defined benefit and other postretirement plans as of December 31:

The assumed health care cost trend rates for gross claims paid were 5.0% and 5.5% for 1998 and 1997, respectively, declining annually to a rate of 4.0% by the year 1999 and remaining level thereafter. The net periodic benefit cost included the following components:

Total pension expense for all retirement plans (including defined contribution plans) was $304 million in 1998, $229 million in 1997 and $252 million in 1996. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and fair value of plan assets for the plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $1.688 billion, $1.510 billion, and $1.118 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 1998, and $1.482 billion, $1.273 billion, and $908 million, respectively, as of December 31, 1997. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plan. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care trend rate would have the following effects:
(In Millions) 1% Increase 1% Decrease - ------------- ----------- ----------- Effect on total service and interest cost $ 26 $ 21 Effect on postretirement benefit obligation $ 223 $ 178
Changes in interest rates or rates of inflation may impact the assumptions used in the valuation of pension obligations and postretirement obligations including discount rates and rates of increase in compensation, resulting in increases or decreases in United's pension and postretirement liabilities and pension and postretirement costs. (17) Financial Instruments and Risk Management - ----------------------------------------------- See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk ("Item 7A") for a discussion of the Company's foreign currency and fuel price risk management activities, and the fair value of all significant financial instruments. Credit Exposures of Derivatives The Company's theoretical risk in the derivative financial instruments described in Item 7A is the cost of replacing the contracts at current market rates in the event of default by any of the counterparties. However, the Company does not anticipate such default as counterparties are selected based on credit ratings and the relative market positions with each counterparty are monitored. Financial Guarantees Special facility revenue bonds have been issued by certain municipalities to build or improve airport and maintenance facilities leased by United. Under the lease agreements, United is required to make rental payments in amounts sufficient to pay the maturing principal and interest payments on the bonds. At December 31, 1998, $1.229 billion principal amount of such bonds was outstanding. As of December 31, 1998, UAL and United had jointly guaranteed $35 million of such bonds and United had guaranteed $1.211 billion of such bonds, including accrued interest. The payments required to satisfy these obligations are included in the future minimum lease payments disclosed in Note 10 "Lease Obligations". Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company does not believe it is subject to any significant concentration of credit risk. Most of the Company's receivables result from sales of tickets to individuals through geographically dispersed travel agents, company outlets or other airlines, often through the use of major credit cards. These receivables are short term, generally being settled shortly after the sale. (18) Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Uncertainties - ----------------------------------------------------------- The Company has certain contingencies resulting from litigation and claims (including environmental issues) incident to the ordinary course of business. Management believes, after considering a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the views of legal counsel, the nature of contingencies to which the Company is subject and its prior experience, that the ultimate disposition of these contingencies is not expected to materially affect UAL's consolidated financial position or results of operations. UAL records liabilities for legal and environmental claims against it in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These amounts are recorded based on the Company's assessments of the likelihood of their eventual settlements. The amounts of these liabilities could increase or decrease in the near term, based on revisions to estimates relating to the various claims. At December 31, 1998, commitments for the purchase of property and equipment, principally aircraft, approximated $6.8 billion, after deducting advance payments. An estimated $2.7 billion will be spent in 1999, $1.8 billion in 2000, $2.0 billion in 2001 and $0.3 billion in 2002 and thereafter. The major commitments are for the purchase of B777, B747, B767, B757, A320 and A319 aircraft, which are scheduled to be delivered through 2002. These commitments, combined with aircraft retirements, are part of the Company's plan to eventually increase the fleet to an expected 645 aircraft at the end of 2001. In connection with the construction of the Indianapolis Maintenance Center, United agreed to spend an aggregate $800 million on capital investments by the year 2001 and employ at least 7,500 individuals by the year 2004. In the event such targets are not reached, United may be required to make certain payments to the city of Indianapolis and state of Indiana. In July 1998, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers ("IAM") became the bargaining representative for United's public contact employees and negotiations have begun regarding a contract. As a result, approximately 82% of United's employees are represented by various labor organizations. The labor contracts with the Air Line Pilots' Association and the IAM become amendable in 2000. In October 1997, the Association of Flight Attendants ratified a new contract, which will remain in effect through 2006. (19) Segment Information - ------------------------- During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". United has a global route network designed to transport passengers and cargo between destinations in North America, the Pacific, Latin America and Europe. These regions constitute United's four reportable segments. The accounting policies for each of these segments are the same as those described in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," except that segment financial information has been prepared using a management approach which is consistent with how the Company's management internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of making internal operating decisions. UAL evaluates performance based on United's fully distributed earnings before income taxes. Revenues are attributed to each reportable segment based on the allocation guidelines provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation, which classifies flights between the U.S. and foreign designations as part of each respective region. A reconciliation of the total amounts reported by reportable segments to the applicable amounts in the financial statements follows:
(In Millions) Year Ended December 31, 1998 - ------------- ---------------------------- Reportable Latin Segment Consolidated Domestic Pacific America Atlantic Total Other Total -------- ------- ------- -------- --------- ----- ------------ Revenue $11,997 $2,843 $ 832 $ 1,846 $17,518 $ 43 $17,561 Interest income 33 14 3 8 58 1 59 Interest expense 207 84 22 49 362 (7) 355 Equity in earnings of affiliates 41 17 4 10 72 - 72 Depreciation and amortization 520 145 45 95 805 (12) 793 Fully distributed earnings before income taxes 1,641 63 68 277 2,049 36 2,085

UAL's operations involve an insignificant level of dedicated revenue producing assets by reportable segment. The overwhelming majority of UAL's revenue producing assets can be deployed in any of the four reportable segments. UAL has significant intangible assets related to the acquisition of its Atlantic and Latin American route authorities. (20) Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows - Supplemental Disclosures --------------------------------------------------- Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information and non-cash investing and financing activities were as follows:

The sum of quarterly earnings per share amounts is not the same as annual earnings per share amounts because of changing numbers of shares outstanding. During the third quarter of 1997, UAL recognized a pre- tax gain of $275 million of the sale of its interest in the Apollo Travel Services Partnership (see Other Information, "Sale of Affiliate" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations).

                       W I T N E S S E T H:

          WHEREAS, on July 12, 1994, certain transactions

contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization dated

(the "Recapitalization Agreement") were consummated.  (The

recapitalization of UAL, as more fully described in the

Recapitalization Agreement, shall hereinafter be referred to as

the "Transaction");



          WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, UAL

established the UAL Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan

(the "Plan"), which consists of an employee stock ownership plan

and a stock bonus plan; and



          WHEREAS, a portion of the employee stock ownership plan

(Part A thereof) forms part of the stock bonus plan, includes a

money purchase pension plan and is intended to qualify as an

employee stock ownership plan under Section 4975(e)(7) of the

Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); and



          WHEREAS, UAL appointed the Trustee as the trustee of

the UAL Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust (the

"Trust"), which was established to hold the assets of the Plan

pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, by and between UAL

and the Trustee (the "Trust Agreement"); and



          WHEREAS, Part A of the Plan and Trust Agreement provide

that the assets of the trust created thereunder attributable to

the Plan shall be invested primarily in shares of "employer

securities" of UAL within the meaning of Section 409(l) of the

Code; and


          WHEREAS, UAL created a new class of securities

designated as the Class 1 ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock, par

Recapitalization Agreement); and



          WHEREAS, the parties to the Recapitalization Agreement

Convertible Preferred Stock to be transferred to the Trust so

that the Plan may continue to satisfy Code Section 415; and



          WHEREAS, the parties to the Recapitalization Agreement

have agreed to a corresponding increase in the number of shares

          WHEREAS, UAL now wishes to sell and the Trustee now

wishes to purchase 2,011,812 shares of the Class 1 ESOP

Convertible Preferred Stock from UAL, in the amount, at the

purchase price and subject to the other terms and conditions as

set forth in this Agreement;



          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and

the mutual promises contained herein, the parties hereto,

intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:




          1.   Purchase; Purchase Price.  Subject to the terms
               ------------------------

1 ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Shares") for an

aggregate purchase price (the "Purchase Price") of

$622,092,506.64.



          2.   Closing; Payment.  The Purchase shall be
               ----------------

name of its nominee, against delivery to UAL by the Trustee of a

check for a dollar amount equal to the par value per Share times

the number of Shares described in Section 1 above (the "Cash

Amount"), representing the aggregate par value of the Shares and

a promissory note of the Trust (the "ESOP Note") substantially in

the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, in an amount equal to the

difference between the Purchase Price and a dollar amount equal

to the par value per Share times the number of Shares described

in Section 1 above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, UAL may, with

the consent of the Trustee, accomplish the transfer of shares to

the Trustee by book entry, in which event a cross receipt in the

form set forth in Exhibit B hereto shall be executed by the

parties.  UAL shall pay all stamp and other transfer taxes, if

any, that may be payable in respect of the issuance, sale and

delivery of the Shares and shall be entitled to any refund

transfer taxes either have been paid or are not due.



          3.   Representations and Warranties of UAL.  UAL hereby
               -------------------------------------
represents and warrants to the Trustee as follows:

               

               3.1  UAL has been duly incorporated and is validly

existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the

State of Delaware with corporate power and authority, including

governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals, to

own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business

except for licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals the

absence of which will not have a Material Adverse Effect.  For

the purposes of this Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" shall

mean any change or effect the consequence of which is materially

adverse to the condition (financial or otherwise), business,

assets or results of operations of UAL and its Subsidiaries (as

defined below) taken as a whole.  UAL is duly qualified as a

foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing

in each jurisdiction where its ownership or leasing of properties

or the conduct of its business requires such qualification,

except for the jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified

would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

               

               3.2  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.2 hereto,

the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all

other documents or instruments to be executed or delivered by UAL

in connection with this Agreement are within UAL's powers and

have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action.

This Agreement and all other documents or instruments to be

executed or delivered by UAL in connection with this Agreement

are, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the

Trustee, valid and binding upon UAL and enforceable against UAL

in accordance with their respective terms except as the

enforceability thereof may be limited by the effect of any

applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent-conveyance,

reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors'

rights generally, ERISA and by general principles of equity

(regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in

equity).
               


               3.3  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.3 hereto,

the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the

consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not

conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or

provisions of, or constitute a default under (i) the Certificate

of Incorporation or Bylaws, each as amended, of UAL or any of its

Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) except as set

forth in Schedule 3.3(ii) hereto, any provision of any indenture,

mortgage, deed of trust, agreement, instrument, order,

arbitration award, judgment or decree to which UAL or any of its

Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their respective

assets are bound, or (iii) any material statute, material rule or

material regulation applicable to UAL or any of its Subsidiaries

of any court, bureau, board, agency or other governmental body

having jurisdiction.

               

               3.4  As of the Closing Date, the authorized,

issued and outstanding capital stock of UAL shall be as set forth

in Schedule 3.4 hereto, and UAL shall have no obligations to

issue any additional shares pursuant to any options, warrants,

conversion rights or other arrangements except as set forth in

Schedule 3.4 hereto, and all shares of issued and outstanding

capital stock of UAL shall have been duly authorized and are

fully paid and nonassessable.

               

               3.5  Each Subsidiary is a corporation or

partnership duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in

good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation

or formation, has all requisite power and authority including all

governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals

required to own, lease and operate its properties (except those

the absence of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect)

and to conduct its business and is in good standing in each

jurisdiction where the character of the property owned or leased

by it or the nature of its activities make such qualification

necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so

qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a

Material Adverse Effect.  For purposes of this Agreement,

"Subsidiary" means any entity of which securities or other

ownership interests having ordinary voting power to elect a

majority of the board of directors or other persons performing

similar functions are directly or indirectly owned by UAL prior

to the Closing Date.  All Subsidiaries and their respective

jurisdictions of incorporation or formation are identified on

Schedule 3.5 hereto.



          Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 3.5, all of

the outstanding capital stock of, or other ownership interests

in, each Subsidiary, is owned by UAL, directly or indirectly,

free and clear of any liens, claims, charges and encumbrances

(collectively "Liens") and free of any other limitation or

restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell

or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or other ownership

interests).  Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.5, there are

outstanding (i) no securities of UAL or any Subsidiary

convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or

other voting securities or ownership interests in any Subsidiary,

and (ii) no options, subscriptions, warrants or other rights,

agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to

acquire from UAL or any Subsidiary, and no other obligation of

UAL or any Subsidiary to issue, any capital stock, voting

securities or other ownership interests in, or any securities

convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any capital

stock, voting securities or ownership interest in, any Subsidiary

(the items in clauses (i) and (ii) being referred to collectively

as the "Subsidiary Securities").  There are no outstanding

obligations of UAL or any Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or

otherwise acquire any outstanding Subsidiary Securities.

               

               3.6  As of the Closing Date, the Shares (i) shall

have the rights, preferences and qualifications set forth in the

restated Certificate of Incorporation of UAL Corporation, (a copy

of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C), (ii) shall have been

duly and validly authorized and (iii) when issued and delivered

to the Trustee in exchange for the Cash Amount and the ESOP Note,

will be in proper form, validly issued, fully paid and

nonassessable.  As of the Closing Date, UAL shall have full right

and authority to issue, sell, transfer, and deliver the Shares

and will effectively transfer to the Trustee, on the Closing

Date, the full right, title and interest therein and thereto,

free and clear of all Liens, except for (A) beneficial interests

accruing to participants in the Plan and their beneficiaries and

(B) any Liens created or imposed by the Trustee on behalf of the

Trust.
               


               3.7  As of the Closing Date, the shares of Common

Stock (as hereinafter defined) into which the Shares are

convertible, shall be duly and validly authorized and reserved

for issuance and, when issued upon such conversion, will be

validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and upon delivery to

the Trustee, the Trust will acquire full right, title and

interest to such shares of Common Stock free and clear of all

Liens, except for (i) beneficial interests accruing to the

participants in the Plan and their beneficiaries and (ii) any

Liens created or imposed by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.


               
               3.8  No authorization, approval or consent of, or

filing with, any governmental authority or agency or other third

party, is required in connection with the sale of the Shares by

UAL hereunder or the conversion of the Shares into Common Stock

except for (i) any of such as shall have been made or obtained

prior to the Closing, (ii) any of such relating to the listing on

any securities exchange of any shares of UAL common stock, par

value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), to be delivered upon

conversion of Shares and (iii) filings with and/or approvals of

the Internal Revenue Service.  The Shares are being issued

pursuant to a valid exemption from registration under the

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and

applicable state securities laws.

               

               3.9  UAL's filings with the Securities and

Exchange Commission ("Commission") for the years 1995, 1996 and

1997, respectively, at the time they were filed with the

Exchange Act, did not contain an untrue statement of a material

fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make

the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under

which they were made, not misleading and (iii) no registration

statement, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, filed

pursuant to the Securities Act as of the date such statement,

amendment or supplement became effective contained any untrue

statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material

fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the

statements therein not misleading.

               

               3.10 The consolidated financial statements of UAL,

together with related notes, schedules and reports thereon of

independent public accountants for the years 1995, 1996 and 1997,

respectively (collectively, the "Financial Statements"), included

in UAL's Annual Reports on Form 1O-K and Quarterly Reports on

Form 1O-Q ("Reports") for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996

and 1997, respectively, all of which Reports previously have been

delivered to the Trustee, present fairly (except as may be

indicated in the notes thereto and subject to normal immaterial

year-end audit adjustments in the case of any unaudited interim

Financial Statements) the consolidated financial position and the

consolidated results of operation of UAL and its consolidated

Subsidiaries at the indicated dates and for the indicated

periods.  The Financial Statements have been prepared in

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles

consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as

otherwise noted therein.  UAL and its Subsidiaries considered as

one enterprise have no material liabilities or obligations,

contingent or otherwise, that are not fully disclosed in the

Financial Statements or the Reports.

               

               3.11 Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.11 hereto,

since December 31, 1996, (i) there has been no event, and no

state of circumstances has existed, that has had or will, or

could reasonably be expected to, have a Material Adverse Effect,

(ii) there has not been any material transaction entered into by

UAL or any of its Subsidiaries, other than transactions in the

ordinary course of business or other than the transactions

contemplated in this Agreement or the Transaction, and (iii)

except for regular dividends on shares of its outstanding common

stock and preferred stock, there has been no dividend or

distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by UAL on any

class of its capital stock other than the distributions

contemplated by the Transaction.

               

               3.12 Except as set forth in Schedule 3.12 there is

no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court or

government or administrative agency or body, domestic or foreign,

now pending or, to the best knowledge of UAL, threatened against

or affecting UAL or any of its Subsidiaries, which might have a

Material Adverse Effect.

               

               3.13 UAL and its Subsidiaries hold all

certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate

state, federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary

to conduct the business now operated by them the absence of

which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material

Adverse Effect, and neither UAL nor any of its Subsidiaries has

received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or

modification of any such certificate, authority or permit which,

individually or in the aggregate, if the subject of an

unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a Material

Adverse Effect.  UAL and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with

all rules, laws and regulations related to the operation of the

business of UAL and its Subsidiaries, except for instances of

noncompliance which, individually or in the aggregate, would not

have a Material Adverse Effect.



               3.14 The Plan has been duly authorized by all

corporate action and Part A constitutes an employee stock

ownership plan within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the

Code and Section 407(d)(6) of the Employee Retirement Income

Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), Part B (that portion

of the stock bonus plan which does not constitute an employee

stock ownership plan) constitutes a stock bonus plan under the

Code and the Plan will qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code

taking into account amendments which may be reasonably requested

by the Internal Revenue Service, but no representation or

warranty is made as to the compliance of the Plan in operation

under the referenced Code and ERISA sections; the Trust Agreement

has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the

part of UAL; all contributions by UAL to the Plan and all

dividends paid on the ESOP Preferred Stock which are used by the

Trust to make the required principal and interest payments with

respect to the ESOP Note will be deductible by UAL or its

Subsidiaries for federal income tax purposes under Section 404 of

the Code (as in effect on the date of the Closing), except to the

extent there are insufficient "earnings and profits" under the

Code for the dividends to be deductible; and the ESOP Preferred

Stock constitutes "employer securities" within the meaning of

Section 409(l) of the Code.



               3.15 There is no investment banker, broker or

finder which has been retained by or is authorized to act on

behalf of UAL or any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of UAL, any

CRS Company who might be entitled to a fee or commission from

UAL, either Union or any affiliate of either of them upon

consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,

based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of UAL.  For the

purposes of this Section 3.15, "CRS Company" and "Union" shall

have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the

Recapitalization Agreement.



          4.   Representations and Warranties of The Trustee, as
               -------------------------------------------------
Trustee.  The Trustee, in its capacity as such, represents and
- -------
warrants as follows:



               4.1  The Trustee (i) is a duly organized and

validly existing trust company in good standing and with full

authority to act as Trustee and exercise trust powers under the

laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and (ii) has full

corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Trust

Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby.

               

               4.2  The execution, delivery and performance of

this Agreement will not violate (i) the Trustee's Charter or

Bylaws, each as amended or restated to date, (ii) any provision

of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement, instrument,

order, arbitration award, Judgment or decree to which the Trustee

or the Trust is a party or by which it or the Trust or any of

their respective assets are bound, or (iii) any statute, rule or

regulation applicable to the Trustee or the Trust of any court,

bureau, board, agency or other governmental body having

jurisdiction, which conflict, breach or default might have a

material adverse effect.

               

               4.3  This Agreement and the Trust Agreement have

been duly executed and delivered by the Trustee on behalf of the

Trust and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by

UAL, each constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of

the Trust enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with

their respective terms, except as the enforceability thereof may

be limited by the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,

insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and

similar laws affecting creditors rights generally, ERISA and by

general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in

a proceeding at law or in equity).

               

               4.4  The Trustee is acquiring the shares on behalf

of the Plan pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Plan solely

for investment purposes and not with a view toward, or for sale

in connection with, any public distribution thereof; provided,

however, nothing herein shall prohibit the Trustee from disposing

of any or all of the Shares.

               

               4.5  No authorization, approval or consent of any

governmental authority or agency is necessary to be obtained by

the Trustee or the Plan in connection with the purchase of the

Shares by the Trustee on behalf of the Plan hereunder.


               
               4.6  The Trustee, at the expense of UAL, has

retained independent legal counsel knowledgeable in matters

regarding ERISA and Code fiduciary responsibilities and has

retained an independent financial advisor to advise the Trustee

regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

               

               4.7  The Trustee has not employed any broker,

finder or agent, or agreed to pay or incurred any brokerage fee,

finder's fee, commission or other similar form of compensation in

connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated

hereby.

               

               4.8  Trustee has received an opinion of Houlihan,

Lokey, Howard and Zukin, Inc., financial advisor to the Trustee,

to the effect that (i) the Purchase Price is not greater than

fair market value, (ii) the Transaction is fair to the Plan from

a financial point of view, (iii) the conversion price with

respect to the Shares is reasonable and (iv) the interest rate on

the ESOP Note is not unreasonable.

               (a)  Except as otherwise provided in the ESOP, all

cash contributions (including any earnings on such contributions)

that are received by the Trust and cash dividends (including any

earnings on such dividends) that are received by the Trust with

respect to the Class 1 ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock or Common

Stock issued upon conversion thereof will be, to the extent

permitted by law, applied solely for the purpose of making

principal and interest payments on the ESOP Note.

                
               (b)  The Trustee shall not transfer or otherwise

dispose of any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of

the Class 1 ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock unless such

securities have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,

as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or pursuant

to an exemption or exemptions from such registration.

                
               (c)  The Trustee agrees that UAL may (with the

consent of the Air Line Pilots Association, International and the

International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers if

and to the extent such consent is required by the Plan) extend

the maturity of the ESOP Note for up to four (4) years, provided

that the interest rate on the ESOP Note, as extended, is

determined by the Trustee to be reasonable at the time of

extension.



          7.   Covenants of UAL.  UAL hereby covenants and agrees
               ----------------
as follows:
                

               (a)  So long as any principal or interest amount

of the ESOP Note or any note representing a refinancing of the

ESOP Note remains unpaid, UAL shall use reasonable efforts to

cause Part A of the Plan to maintain its qualification as an

employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Section

4975(e)(7) of the Code.

                
               (b)  So long as any principal or interest amount

of the ESOP Note or any note representing a refinancing of the

ESOP Note remains unpaid, UAL and its Subsidiaries shall make

contributions to the Plan which, when combined with any dividends

received by the Plan that can be used for the payment of such

debt, are sufficient to allow the Trustee to make, in a timely

fashion all scheduled principal and interest payments with

respect to the ESOP Note or any note representing a refinancing

of the ESOP Note; provided, however, that any contribution to the

Plan shall be limited to the extent that such contribution would

cause the aggregate contributions made by UAL and its

Subsidiaries for the relevant Plan year to exceed the limitations

set forth in Sections 404 or 415 of the Code.  Any contributions

limited or not made in a timely fashion pursuant to the preceding

sentence shall be (i) carried over and paid to the Plan as soon

as is practicable in connection with contributions to the Plan

and (ii) increased by an amount sufficient for the Trustee to pay

any increased interest or other costs arising under the ESOP Note

from the failure to make any payment thereunder when due.  The

Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement upon demand for

reasonable attorney fees and other reasonable costs of collection

in enforcing the provisions of this Section 7(b).

                
               (c)  Registration of the Common Stock.  As and if

required by applicable securities laws, UAL shall at all times

maintain an effective registration statement under the Securities

Act and timely comply with the reporting requirements under the

Exchange Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock into

which the Shares are convertible.  The Trustee will provide UAL

with any information about the Trustee or such proposed sale

required to be included in such registration statement.  The

Trustee will, upon receipt of notice from UAL that any such

registration statement includes an untrue statement of a material

fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated

therein or necessary to make any statement therein not

misleading, discontinue the distribution of Common Stock

thereunder until such misstatement or omission is eliminated.

          
          The Trustee further agrees not to effect any public

sale or distribution of Common Stock without the consent of UAL

during the seven days prior to or ninety days after any

registration statement relating to an underwritten sale of

securities of UAL has become effective.  UAL shall obtain any

other federal, state or local approvals as may be necessary from

time to time to enable the Trust to consummate any desired

conversion or disposition of the shares of Common Stock into

which the Shares are convertible.



          8.   Restrictive Legend.  The Trustee understands that
               ------------------
the certificates representing the Shares, when issued, will bear

the following legend and that a notation restricting their

transfer will be made on the stock transfer books of UAL:



               "The shares of stock represented by this

          certificate have not been registered under the

          Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Such shares may

          not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred

          in the absence of an effective registration statement

          under said Securities Act covering the transfer or an

          opinion of counsel satisfactory to the issuer that

          registration under said Securities Act is not required.

          

                             Notice
                             ------
               The shares, of stock represented by this

          certificate are subject to a security interest in favor

          of UAL Corporation."

          

          9.   Expenses.  Whether or not the transactions
               --------
contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated, UAL shall,

as provided for in the applicable engagement letter between UAL

and the Trustee (the "Engagement Letter"), pay the expenses

incurred by the Trustee in connection with the authorization,

          11.  Savings Clause.  The invalidity, illegality or
               --------------
enforceability of any one or more of the provisions of this

Agreement shall in no way affect or impair the validity and

enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof.  In the event

any such provision shall be so declared unenforceable due to its

scope or breadth, it shall be narrowed to the scope or breadth

permitted by law.



          12.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in
               ------------
one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an

original and all of which together shall constitute one and the

same instrument.  It shall not be necessary that any single

counterpart hereof be executed by all parties so long as each

party executed at least one counterpart.



          13.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed

                      UNITED AIR LINES, INC.
                   SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN
                   ----------------------------

                    (As amended and restated
                   effective January 1, 1989)

                            SECTION 1
                            ---------

                          Introduction
                          ------------

     1.1     Purpose.     The United Air Lines, Inc. Supplemental
Retirement Plan (the "Plan") is maintained by United Air Lines,
Inc. (the "Company") for the purpose of supplementing the
retirement incomes payable under the United Air Lines, Inc.
Non-Union Ground Employees' Retirement Plan or any successor plan
(the "Retirement Plan") to certain employees of the Company who
meet the requirements of section 2.1 of this Plan (each a
"Participant") or, if any such employee dies, his surviving
spouse, if any, to whom a pre-retirement survivor benefit is
payable under the Retirement Plan ("Surviving Spouse"), as
authorized by resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors
adopted on April 24, 1980, October 25, 1984, November 28, 1986,
June 1, 1987, and January 31, 1990.  Except as otherwise provided
in section 2.5, it is the intent of this Plan to pay benefits
only if a Participant's last employment with the UAL Companies is
with the Company.  The "UAL Companies" (individually a "UAL
Company") are UAL Corporation (formerly named Allegis
Corporation) and all other companies that together with UAL
Corporation are or have been members of a controlled group of
corporations as defined in 414(b) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 ("IRC").

     1.2.    Effective Date.    The Plan became effective
January 1, 1987 (the "Effective Date") and is amended and
restated effective January 1, 1989.

     1.3.    Administration.     The Plan will be administered
by the Committee appointed by the Board of Directors for the
purpose of administering the Retirement Plan, currently the
Pension and Welfare Plans Administration Committee.  In
administering this Plan the Committee will have all of the same
rights, duties, obligations, discretions, and protections it
possesses in connection with the administration of the Retirement
Plan, except for any duty or obligation related to maintaining
this Plan as a qualified plan under the IRC.

     1.4.    Funding.    Benefits payable under this Plan
("Supplemental Benefits") to or on account of any Participant
will be paid directly by the Company and will be reflected on the
books of the Company as a general unsecured and unfunded
obligation of the Company unless and until this Plan is amended
to provide for a trust or other method of Plan funding.


                            SECTION 2
                            ---------

             Participation and Supplemental Benefits
             ---------------------------------------

     2.1.    Participation.     A person will become a
Participant in this Plan if he is a "Participant" (as defined in
the Retirement Plan) in the Retirement Plan on or after the
Effective Date and if he meets the eligibility requirements of
section 2.2 of this Plan.

     2.2.    Eligibility for Supplemental Benefits.     A
Participant, or his Surviving Spouse, will be eligible for
Supplemental Benefits under the Plan if:

     (a)   On or after the Effective Date, he becomes entitled
           to a Retirement Income Benefit, a Vested Termination
           Benefit, a Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit, or a Minimum
           Spouse's Benefit, as the case may be, under the Retirement
           Plan (any such benefit being hereafter referred to as a
           "Retirement Plan Benefit");

     (b)    Except as otherwise provided in section 2.5 of this
            Plan, the Company is the last of the UAL Companies for
            which the Participant worked before he ceased all
            employment with the UAL Companies; and

     (c)    Any one or more of the following is true with
            respect to the Participant:

               (i)     his Retirement Plan Benefit is reduced
          because of the limits imposed by IRC 415 or any
          successor provision;

               (ii)    he, at any time before or after the
          Effective Date, participated in the United Air Lines,
          Inc. Management Incentive Plan, the UAL Corporation
          Incentive Compensation Plan, or any predecessor plan of
          either (the "Incentive Plans"), and payment of all or
          any portion of any incentive award under the Incentive
          Plans that otherwise would have been paid to him in a
          year (the "Entitlement Year") is instead deferred until
          a later year (any such Award is hereafter referred to
          as a "Deferred Incentive Award"), resulting in the
          exclusion of all or a portion of the Deferred Incentive
          Award from the Earnings taken into account under the
          Retirement Plan for the purpose of calculating a
          Retirement Plan Benefit;

               (iii)   he, at any time before or after the
          Effective Date, deferred a portion of his compensation




                                  -2-

        
          pursuant to resolutions of the Company's Board of
          Directors adopted on November 28, 1986 from the year
          during which it otherwise would have been paid to him
          ("Entitlement Year") to a later year (any such deferred
          compensation is hereafter referred to as a "Deferred
          Payment"), resulting in the exclusion of all or a
          portion of the Deferred Payment from the Earnings taken
          into account under the Retirement Plan in calculating a
          Retirement Plan Benefit;

               (iv)   his Retirement Plan Benefit is reduced
          because of the application of subsection 5.8 (or any
          successor provision) of the Retirement Plan
          ("Subsection 5.8") in the determination of his Accrued
          Benefit under the Retirement Plan;

               (v)    his Retirement Plan Benefit is reduced
          because the Company elected to use Alternative IID
          provided in IRS Notice 88-131, I.R.B. 1988-52, dated
          December 27, 1988, as it later may have been amended,
          supplemented, or clarified (the "Alternative IID
          Limitation"); or

               (vi)   his Retirement Plan Benefit is reduced
          because of the limits imposed by IRC 401(a)(17) or any
          successor provision.

     2.3.     Amount of Supplemental Benefits.     A Participant
or his Surviving Spouse will be entitled to monthly Supplemental
Benefits payable under this Plan in an amount equal to the excess
of:

     (a)   The Retirement Plan Benefit that would have been
           payable if (i) the amount of each Deferred Incentive Award
           and each Deferred Payment, in each case if any, had been
           included in the participant's Earnings under the
           Retirement Plan for the Entitlement Year and (ii) such
           benefit had been determined without regard to the
           limitations on such benefit imposed by IRC 415 and
           401(a)(17) or any successor provisions, without regard to
           Subsection 5.8, and without regard to the Alternative IID
           Limitation; over

     (b)   The Retirement Plan Benefit that is payable.

     2.4.     Payment of Supplemental Benefits.     The
Supplemental Benefits payable to a Participant or Surviving
Spouse under this Plan will be paid in the same manner and form,
to the same person or persons (including beneficiaries under the
Retirement Plan), and at the same time as his or their Retirement
Plan Benefits; provided, however, that until the Retirement Plan
is amended to



                                  -3-


comply with those qualification requirements described in Income
Tax Regulations 1.401(b)-l(b)(2)(ii) (TRA `86) as contemplated
by Subsection 5.8 (the "Amendments"), no payments will be made
under this Plan with respect to a Participant who is a highly
compensated employee within the meaning of IRC 414(q)(1)(A) or
(B) and who terminated employment with the Company on or after
January 1, 1989 unless the recipient of such payments executes
and delivers to the Committee such agreements and documents as
the Committee may reasonably request providing for repayment to
the Company of so much of such payments as is duplicative of
payments made retroactively by the Retirement Plan as a result
of the Amendments.

     2.5.     Other Supplemental Benefit Plans.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, if a
Participant or Surviving Spouse is entitled to both a
Supplemental Benefit under this Plan and one or more similar
benefits under one or more supplemental benefit plans of any of
the other UAL Companies, then any such Supplemental Benefit due
under this Plan will be reduced to the extent necessary to ensure
that the Participant or Surviving Spouse does not receive
aggregate supplemental benefits in excess of the Supplemental
Benefit that would be due under this Plan if all of the
Participant's employment and compensation with all of the UAL
Companies had instead been solely for the Company.  If a person
would have been a Participant in this Plan but for his failure to
meet the condition of section 2.2(b) hereof that his last
employment with the UAL Companies was for the Company, and if he
met any of the conditions of section 2.2(c) of this Plan during
his employment with the Company, and if none of the supplemental
benefit plans of any of the other UAL Companies pays him the
Supplemental Benefit he would have been entitled to under this
Plan had he met the condition of section 2.2(b), then this Plan
will pay such Supplemental Benefit based solely on his employment
with the Company and, for vesting purposes only, his service with
the UAL Companies.  In no event will this section 2.5 be
construed to provide a Supplemental Benefit, or reduce the
Supplemental Benefit payable hereunder as a result of that
portion of any Supplemental Benefits payable by any UAL Company,
with respect to a Participant's employment with any UAL Company
during any period when such UAL Company was not together with UAL
Corporation a member of a controlled group of corporations as
defined in  IRC 414(b).

                            SECTION 3
                            ---------

                       General Provisions
                       ------------------

     3.1.      Employment Rights.     The establishment of the
Plan will not be construed to give any Participant the right to
be retained in the Company's service or to any benefits not
specifically provided by the Plan.



                                  -4-


     3.2.      Interest Not Transferable.     Except as to the
withholding of any tax (including Social Security and
unemployment taxes, if applicable) under the laws of the United
States or any state, the interests of any Participant, Surviving
Spouse, or beneficiary under the Plan are not subject to the
claims of their creditors and may not be voluntarily or
involuntarily transferred, anticipated, assigned, alienated,
encumbered, or subjected to attachment, garnishment, levy,
execution, or other legal or equitable process.

     3.3.      Incompetency.     Any Supplemental Benefits payable
hereunder to any person under a legal disability or who in the
judgment of the Committee is unable to properly manage his
financial affairs may be paid to the legal representative of such
person in any manner in which the Committee may select.

     3.4.      Gender and Number.     Where the context admits,
words in the masculine gender include the feminine gender, the
plural includes the singular, and the singular includes the
plural.

     3.5.      Controlling Law.      To the extent not superseded
by the laws of the United States, the laws of Illinois will
control in all matters relating to the Plan.

     3.6.      Successors.     This Plan is binding on the
Company and any successor to the Company, whether such succession
is by way of purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise.

     3.7.      Action by the Company.     Any action required or
permitted by the Company will be by resolution of its Board of
Directors or any person or persons authorized by resolution of
its Board of Directors.

     3.8.      Defined Terms.     Terms used herein with initial
capitalization that are not defined herein or do not otherwise
clearly have another meaning will have the meaning given such
terms in the Retirement Plan.


                            SECTION 4
                            ---------

                    Amendment and Termination
                    -------------------------

     While the Company expects to continue the Plan, it reserves
the right to amend the Plan from time to time or to terminate the
Plan, provided, however, that no amendment or termination may
reduce Supplemental Benefits that have already accrued to a
Participant under the Plan to the date of such amendment or
termination or that would accrue in the future under the Plan as
a result of a Participant accumulating additional years of
Participation under the Retirement Plan (unless any such
reduction is compensated for by a corresponding and related
increase in such Participant's Retirement Plan Benefit), nor may
the Plan be amended to reduce or eliminate any Supplemental
Benefit based



                                  -5-



on the difference between (i) Retirement Plan Benefits determined
without regard to IRC 415, IRC 401(a)(17), or any successor
provisions and (ii) Retirement Plan Benefits.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be
amended and restated and, as amended and restated, to be executed
on its behalf, its corporate seal to be affixed, and such
execution to be attested to by its duly authorized officers as of
January 1, 1989.

                           Officer Benefits
               UAL Corporation and United Air Lines, Inc.
               ------------------------------------------


Travel Benefits
- ---------------

Positive-space travel is provided on United for active and
retired officers of UAL and United and their eligible dependents,
and cash payments are made to federal and state tax authorities
on behalf of each active officer to cover tax liability on up to
$12,000 in value of travel benefits, and for retired officers on
up to $6,000 in value of travel benefits.  This benefit includes
admission to United's Red Carpet Club.  For purposes of this
policy, officers who are also directors of UAL receive the
benefits provided to directors.


Financial Advisory Services
- ---------------------------

Financial advisory services are provided to designated officers
of UAL and United.  Reimbursement is limited to $7,000 in the
first year the officer is admitted to the program, and to $4,000
per year thereafter.  Unused reimbursements may be carried over
and used in succeeding years.


Club Memberships
- ----------------

Payment is made by United for the cost of social club memberships
for designated officers.  The Company does not pay dues for clubs
which discriminate on the basis of race, sex, religion or
national origin.  Such memberships are authorized by the Chairman
consistent with long-standing company policies.


Welfare Benefits
- ----------------

All officers of UAL and United may elect "Split-Dollar" life
insurance.  Under the split-dollar program, officers receive
whole life coverage equal to approximately three times base
salary less $50,000.  United and the officer share the
responsibility for the premiums.  United recovers its payments
from the cash value of the policy.  Officers also receive 24-Hour
Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance coverage
which pays up to a $250,000 benefit upon the accidental death or
dismemberment of the insured.

Officers are covered by a self-insured supplemental long term
disability plan which provides a supplement to the Company's
disability benefit for certain management employees equal to 50%
of monthly pay in excess of $20,000.


Company Cars

The Chairman, President and certain other senior officers are
entitled to the use of cars owned or leased by United.

                               AGREEMENT
                               ---------


            THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered
into as of ___________ (the "Effective Date")* between United Air
Lines, Inc. ("UA") and UAL Corporation ("UAL," "UA" and "UAL"
sometimes collectively referred to as "United") and
__________________ residing at _____________________________
(sometimes referred to as "Executive").

            WHEREAS, Executive has served and is presently
serving as an officer of UA (such position is hereinafter
referred to as the "Executive Position"), and may hold various
other positions and directorships with UA, UAL, or subsidiaries
or affiliates thereof;

            WHEREAS, United and Executive have entered into a
letter agreement, dated as of October 6, 1998 (the "Initial
Agreement") governing the circumstances under which this
Agreement shall be entered into;

            WHEREAS, a "United Breach" and a "Triggering Event"
(each as defined in the Initial Agreement) have occurred;

            WHEREAS, United wishes to retain certain limited
services of Executive, and Executive wishes to provide said
services to United, in accordance with the terms and conditions
set forth herein; and

            WHEREAS, Executive has agreed in this Agreement to
provide such services and to release United from certain
liabilities, as set forth in this Agreement, arising out of
Executive's ceasing to serve in the Executive Position;

            NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between United
and Executive as follows:

           1.         Relinquishment of Title, Continued
Employment.  Executive hereby ceases to serve in the Executive
Position, effective as of the Effective Date.  Thereafter,
Executive will continue to be actively employed by United, but
Executive will perform services for United by being "on call",
including testifying on behalf of United, and subject to such
other assignments consistent with Executive's experience and
reasonably acceptable to Executive as may be reasonably requested
by either the person who is Executive's supervisor immediately
prior to the United Breach (the "Supervisor") or the Supervisor's
successor.

           2.         Time Period of Employment; Retirement.  A.
United agrees to employ Executive


______________________________________________
*This date is to be the date on which the Triggering Event
occurs.




and Executive agrees to be employed by United on the basis stated
in Paragraph 1 from the Effective Date through the earlier of (i)
except as provided in Paragraph 2(B) below, 11:59 pm. on the
second anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) the termination
of this Agreement and Executive's employment pursuant to
Paragraph 4 hereof (such period, the "Term").

           B.         If during the period commencing on the day
following the second anniversary of the Effective Date and ending
on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, Executive would
first qualify for UA Retired Employee Status, as defined in
United's Employee Policy Manual - Series 15 ("Retirement
Status"), clause (i) of Paragraph 2(A) above shall refer to the
last day of the first month that Executive so qualifies (such
date, the "Qualifying Date").

           C.         If Executive qualifies for Retirement
Status at the end of the Term, Executive shall be deemed to have
retired at the end of the Term for purposes of United's employee
benefit plans, including, but not limited to, pension plans,
retiree medical plans and retiree travel policies (collectively,
the "United Benefit Plans") in accordance with the terms of each
United Benefit Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Term
ends pursuant to Paragraph 2(A)(ii) above, by virtue of the
operation of (1) Paragraph 4(A)(i), (ii) or (iv) below, Executive
shall not be deemed to have retired at the end of the term for
purposes of the United Benefit Plans; or (2) Paragraph 4(A)(iii)
below, Executive will be governed by United's illness leave of
absence policy and the benefits provided thereunder (other than
any provision that would provide Executive with a right to resume
employment with United) at the end of the Term, unless, if
Executive qualifies for Retirement Status, Executive elects to
retire in lieu of being governed by such policy.  Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof, Executive's qualification for
retirement with respect to the Equity Plans and the Other Grants
(each as defined in Paragraph 3(C)(vii) hereof) shall be
determined pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 3(C)(vii)
hereof.

           3.         Compensation and Benefits.  A.  Accrued
Benefits; Salary.  (i)  United will pay or provide to Executive
within 15 days following the Effective Date all amounts and
benefits which Executive would have received between the date of
the United Breach and the Effective Date had no United Breach
occurred, and which have not been previously paid or provided,
which amounts and benefits shall be determined without regard to
any United Breach.

                       (ii)   United will pay Executive during
the Term a monthly salary equal to Executive's monthly salary
(the "Basic Salary") as in effect immediately prior to the
occurrence of the United Breach; provided, however, that if the
Term is extended pursuant to Paragraph 2(B) hereof, the salary
payable per month to Executive shall equal (a) the Basic Salary
multiplied by 24, divided by (b) the number of whole and partial
months between the Effective Date and the Qualifying Date.  Such
payments will be made on the same schedule as salary payments are
made to actively employed officers of United from time to time,
currently the 15th and last day of each month.  Any amounts will
be prorated for any partial month.  All payments will be subject
to withholding for taxes and other purposes as required by
applicable law.  During the Term, Executive will not be entitled
to any increase nor subject to any decrease in such salary
payments.
                                
                                
                                2

           B.         Incentive Compensation.  Within 15 business
days following the Effective Date, United shall pay to Executive
a lump sum cash payment equal to Executive's target "incentive
opportunity" (as defined in UA's Incentive Compensation Plan as
in effect immediately prior to the United Breach, or any
comparable replacement plan (such plan or replacement plan, the
"Incentive Compensation Plan")), multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of days between January 1st of
the year in which the Effective Date occurs and the Effective
Date, and the denominator of which is 365.  In addition, if
Executive's incentive opportunity with respect to the immediately
preceding fiscal year has not yet been paid or deferred as of the
Effective Date, Executive shall be paid Executive's incentive
opportunity, if any, that would have been paid with respect to
such fiscal year, calculated without regard to any United Breach
that would adversely affect the computation of such incentive
opportunity, which payment shall made to Executive at the time it
would otherwise have been paid pursuant to terms of the Incentive
Compensation Plan.  United shall also pay Executive during the
Term a monthly payment (the "Monthly Incentive Payment") equal to
one-twelfth of Executive's target incentive opportunity (as
defined in the Incentive Compensation Plan, and calculated by
reference to the Basic Salary); provided, however, that if the
Term is extended pursuant to Paragraph 2(B) hereof, the amount
payable per month to Executive shall equal (i) the Monthly
Incentive Payment multiplied by 24, divided by (ii) the number of
whole and partial months between the Effective Date and the
Qualifying Date.  All payments will be subject to withholding for
taxes and other purposes as required by applicable law.  During
the Term, Executive will not be entitled to any increase nor
subject to any decrease in such incentive payments.

           C.         Benefits.  Notwithstanding what may be
provided to other active employees of United from time to time,
the only benefits that Executive shall be entitled to during the
Term are as follows:

           (i)  Free and Reduced Rate Transportation.
                United shall provide to Executive and his or her
                eligibles free and reduced rate transportation of the
                type granted to actively employed officers in
                accordance with company regulations as revised from
                time to time (the "Transportation Benefits"); provided,
                however, that if the Transportation Benefits, taken as
                a whole, are materially less favorable than United's
                transportation benefits as in effect as of October 1,
                1998 (the "Prior Transportation Benefits"), Executive
                shall be provided with benefits under this Paragraph
                3(C)(i) that are no less favorable to Executive than
                the Prior Transportation Benefits.

          (ii)  United Air Lines, Inc. Management and
                Salaried Employees' Retirement Plan.  Executive shall
                continue to participate in (A) the Retirement Plan and
                (B) the United Air Lines, Inc. Supplemental Retirement
                Plan in accordance with their terms (hereinafter
                collectively the "Retirement Plans").


                                3

                Executive shall be credited with 3 additional years of
                participation under the Supplemental Retirement Plan.

         (iii)  Management Medical/Dental.  Executive and
                his or her eligible dependents shall continue to be
                covered by the Management Medical/Dental Plan in the
                same manner as other active management employees.

          (iv)  Group Life Insurance.  Executive shall
                continue to be covered by Group Life Insurance
                including Contributory Life Insurance (if so covered),
                on the same basis as other active management employees,
                provided the appropriate payroll deductions are
                authorized and in accordance with the terms of the
                policies.

           (v)  Officer's Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance/
                Split Dollar Life Insurance.  Executive's Officer's 
                Accidental Death and Dismemberment coverage will continue 
                until the end of the Term.  If Executive is covered by the 
                Officer's Split Dollar Life Insurance as of the occurrence 
                of the United Breach, Executive will continue to be covered 
                by such insurance until the end of the Term.  In such
                event, the terms of Executive's coverage and option for
                continuation of the Officer's Split Dollar Life
                Insurance after the end of the Term will be explained
                in a separate letter upon the end of the Term.

          (vi)  Disability Income Benefits.  Executive will
                continue to be covered by United's long term disability
                plan (the "LTD Plan"), on the same basis as other
                active management employees, provided that Executive is
                qualified under the terms of the LTD Plan and Executive
                makes such payments as may be required by the Plan

         (vii)  (a) Stock.  Executive shall continue to participate 
                in United's equity incentive plans (the "Equity Plans") 
                with respect to grants made prior to the Effective Date.  
                Grants made prior to the Effective Date other than pursuant 
                to the Equity Plans (the "Other Grants") shall also remain 
                outstanding.  Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph 
                3(C)(vii), nothing in this Agreement will increase or 
                diminish the right of Executive to exercise any stock option 
                that becomes exercisable according to the terms of the
                Equity Plans or the Other Grants, whether before or
                after termination.  Upon the end of the Term, Executive
                shall be deemed to have retired, regardless of
                Executive's age, for purposes only of the Equity Plans
                and the Other Grants, so that Executive's unvested
                options will continue to vest and Executive will be
                able to exercise Executive's options until the fixed
                expiration date thereof; provided, however, that if
                Executive does not qualify for Retirement Status at the
                end of the Term, then (A) if the Term ends pursuant to
                Paragraph 2(A)(ii) above, by virtue of the operation of
                Paragraph 4 (B)(ii) below, Executive shall not be
                deemed to have retired for purposes of the Equity Plans
                and the Other Grants; or (B) if Executive

                                
                                4

                takes a Competitive Position with a Competitor (each as 
                defined in Paragraph 4(B)(ii) hereof) during the one-year 
                period immediately following the end of the Term (the 
                date, if any, that the Competitive Position is taken, the 
                "Competition Date"), Executive shall be deemed to be no 
                longer retired as of the Competition Date for purposes of 
                the Equity Plans and the Other Grants, so that all then-
                unvested options held by Executive shall be forfeited
                and all then-vested options held by Executive shall be
                exercisable for the period following the Competition
                Date provided in the relevant Equity Plan or Other
                Grant (with the Competition Date deemed to be the date
                of termination of Executive's employment for purposes
                thereof) and, unless exercised, shall thereupon
                terminate and be forfeited.

                (b)     Executive will not be eligible for
                any grants made under the Equity Plans after the
                Effective Date.

        (viii)  Other Benefits.  Executive will continue to
                be eligible to participate in the stock purchase plan,
                401(k) plan, Flexible Spending Account and Employee
                Stock Ownership Plan, including any plan or plans
                adopted in substitution therefor, and including any New
                Employee Stock Ownership Plan (as defined in the
                Initial Agreement), and be eligible for payroll savings
                bonds on the same basis as other active employees.
                Executive will also be eligible to utilize the Credit
                Union subject to its rules.

          (ix)  Vacation and Holidays.  Executive agrees to
                forego any unused vacation time existing as of the
                Effective Date and no paid vacation or holiday time
                will be accrued or taken after the Effective Date.

           (x)  Outplacement Benefits.  For a period of 12
                months following the end of the Term, Executive will be
                provided with outplacement assistance appropriate to
                the Executive Position held by Executive prior to the
                United Breach.

           D.         Each of the benefits enumerated in
Paragraph 3(C) is subject to the practices, rules, and
regulations of United, as in effect from time to time.

           E.         (i)       Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or
benefit received or to be received by Executive hereunder, when
taken together with any payment or benefits received or to be
received pursuant to the terms of any other plan, arrangement or
agreement with United, or any affiliate thereof (all such
payments and benefits being hereinafter called "Total Payments")
would be subject (in whole or part), to any excise tax (the
"Excise Tax") imposed under section 4999 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), then, the payments under
Paragraph 3(A) shall first be reduced, the payments under
Paragraph 3(B) shall thereafter be reduced and individual
benefits under Paragraph 3(C) shall thereafter be eliminated, to
the extent necessary so that no portion of the

                                
                                5

Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax, but only if (A) the
net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after
subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income
taxes on such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to
(B) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction
(but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local
income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax
to which Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced
Total Payments); provided, however, that Executive may elect to
have individual benefits under Paragraph 3(C) eliminated prior to
any reduction of the cash payments under Paragraphs 3(A) and
3(B).

           (ii)         For purposes of determining
whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be
subject to the Excise Tax, (i) no portion of the Total Payments
the receipt or enjoyment of which Executive shall have waived at
such time and in such manner as not to constitute a "payment"
within the meaning of section 280G(b) of the Code shall be taken
into account, (ii) no portion of the Total Payments shall be
taken into account which, in the opinion of tax counsel ("Tax
Counsel") reasonably acceptable to Executive and selected by the
accounting firm (the "Auditor") which was, immediately prior to
the United Breach, United's independent auditor, does not
constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of section
280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of section
280G(b)(4)(A) of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no
portion of such Total Payments shall be taken into account which,
in the opinion of Tax Counsel, constitutes reasonable
compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning
of section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in excess of the Base
Amount (as defined in section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable
to such reasonable compensation, and (iii) the value of any
non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in
the Total Payments shall be determined by the Auditor in
accordance with the principles of sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of
the Code.

           4.        Termination of Employment Under Agreement.

           A.         Non-Election of Executive.  Executive's
employment under this Agreement shall terminate and Executive will 
no longer have the status of an active employee of United and will
no longer be entitled to any of the benefits of this Agreement
(including the entitlement to the payment and benefits described in 
Paragraph 3(C), other than those required by law or otherwise
vested), on the happening of the earliest of the following events:

           (i)         Executive's death;

           (ii)        Any material breach by Executive of Paragraph 
                       6 or 9 hereof or the failure by Executive to
                       provide notice to United pursuant to Paragraph
                       4(B)(ii) hereof;

           (iii)       Executive's qualification for long term disability 
                       benefits under the terms of any long term
                       disability plan or program of United, regardless of
                       whether Executive is enrolled in any such plan or
                       program; or

           (iv)        Executive's termination for Cause (as defined below).
                                
                                
                                6

For purposes hereof, "Cause" shall mean (a) the willful and
continued failure by Executive to substantially perform
Executive's duties with United, including the duties set forth
under Paragraph 7 hereof (other than any such failure resulting
from Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness)
after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered
to Executive by the Board of Directors of UAL (the "Board"),
which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the
Board believes that Executive has not substantially performed
Executive's duties, (b) the willful engaging by Executive in
conduct, including any conduct that is a violation of Executive's
duties set forth under Paragraph 8 hereof, which is demonstrably
and materially injurious to United or its subsidiaries,
monetarily or otherwise or (c) Executive's conviction for the
commission of a felony.  For purposes of clauses (a) and (b) of
this definition, no act, or failure to act, on Executive's part
shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by
Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that
Executive's act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of
United.

           B.         Election of Executive.  (i)  During the
Term, if Executive elects to terminate his or her employment for
any reason, Executive will receive, in lieu of any further
payments under Paragraphs 3(A)(ii) and 3(B) above (such payments,
the "Monthly Payments"), a one time lump sum payment (subject to
withholding for taxes and other purposes as required by
applicable laws) in an amount equal to the sum of the remaining
Monthly Payments payable under this Agreement, and will no longer
be entitled to any benefits under Paragraph 3(C) (other than
benefits required by law or otherwise vested).  Before
Executive's election to terminate under this paragraph can become
effective, Executive must have provided United seven (7) days'
written notice of his or her election by registered mail
addressed to the General Counsel of United at its principal World
Headquarters offices.  Executive's termination of employment will
be as of the seventh (7th) day after receipt by United of such
notice, at which time he or she will no longer have the status of
an active employee of United (including the entitlement to
benefits described in Paragraph 3(C), other than benefits
required by law or otherwise vested).

           (ii)       Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this Paragraph 4(B), during the Term, if Executive elects to
terminate his or her employment by taking a Competitive Position
(as defined below) with a Competitor (as defined below):

           (A)       Upon agreeing to such employment (including
for purposes of this Paragraph 4(B)(ii)(A) any employment which
commences during the one-year period immediately following the
end of the Term, if Executive does not qualify for Retirement
Status at the end of the Term), Executive must immediately so
notify United in writing by registered mail addressed to the
General Counsel of United at its principal World Headquarters
offices;

           (B)       Executive will be deemed to have elected to
terminate his or her employment under this Agreement (including
the entitlement to benefits described in Paragraph 3(C))



                                7

effective as of the day Executive becomes employed by such
Competitor; and

           (C)        Executive will be entitled to no further
compensation after such effective date.

For purposes of this Agreement, (1) "Competitor" means any
airline or air carrier or any company affiliated, directly or
indirectly, with another airline or air carrier and (2)
"Competitive Position" means becoming employed by, become a
member of the board of directors of, a consultant to, or to
otherwise provide services of any nature to a Competitor directly
or indirectly.

           C.         Survival.  Notwithstanding any termination
of Executive's employment under this Agreement, Executive shall
continue to be bound by (1) the provisions of Paragraphs 6
through 16 hereof, (2) the proviso to the final sentence of
Paragraph 3(C)(vii)(a) and (3) the provisions of Paragraph
4(B)(ii)(A) hereof.

           5.          Regulations.  During his or her
employment, Executive will be governed by applicable United
regulations, as in effect from time to time, to the extent that
such regulations are consistent with Executive's status as an
on-call employee.

           6.           Confidentiality.

           A.          For purposes of this Agreement
"Confidential Information" shall mean and include, but not be
limited to, the kinds of services provided or proposed to be
provided by United to customers, the manner in which such
services are performed or offered to be performed, information
concerning United's fleet plan, cost structure, strategic plan,
labor strategy, information concerning the creation, acquisition
or disposition of products and services, personnel information,
and other trade secrets and confidential or proprietary
information concerning United's business, but shall not include
information which (I) is or becomes generally available to the
public other than as a result of a disclosure by Executive, (II)
was available to Executive on a non-confidential basis prior to
its disclosure by UAL or UA, or (III) becomes available to
Executive on a non-confidential basis from a person other than
UAL, UA or their officers, directors, employees or agents who is
not otherwise bound by any confidentiality obligations with
respect to the information provided to Executive (the
"Confidential Information").

           B.        (i) Executive acknowledges that: (a)
United's business is intensely competitive and that Executive's
employment by United has required and during the Term may
continue to require that Executive have access to and knowledge
of Confidential Information of United, (b) the direct or indirect
disclosure of any Confidential Information would place United at
a disadvantage and would do damage, monetary or otherwise, to
United's business, and (c) the engaging by Executive in any of
the activities prohibited by this Paragraph 6 may constitute
improper appropriation or use of such Confidential Information.
Executive expressly acknowledges the trade secret status of the
Confidential Information and that the Confidential Information
constitutes a protectible business interest of United.
                                
                                
                                8




           (ii)  Whether directly or indirectly, individually,
as a director, stockholder, owner, partner, employee, principal,
or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, during the
Term of this Agreement and for the three (3) year period
thereafter, Executive shall not make known, disclose, furnish,
make available or utilize any of the Confidential Information,
other than in the proper performance of the duties contemplated
under this Agreement.  Executive shall return any tangible
Confidential Information, including photocopies, extracts and
summaries thereof, or any such information stored electronically
on tapes, computer disks, or in any other manner that Executive
has in his or her possession (a) on the Effective Date of this
Agreement, (b) at the end of the Term, and (c) at such time as
United requests Executive to do so.

           (iii)  Executive acknowledges and agrees that due to
the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential
Information he or she possesses, a breach or threatened breach by
him or her of any of the provisions contained in this Paragraph 6
will cause United irreparable injury.  Therefore, in addition to
any other rights or remedies, Executive agrees that United shall
be entitled to a temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunction
enjoining or restraining Executive from any such violation or
threatened violation, without the necessity of proving the
inadequacy of monetary damages or the posting of any bond or
security.  Executive consents to jurisdiction for such
enforcement in any state or federal court in the State of
Illinois.

           (iv)  Executive further acknowledges and agrees that
due to the uniqueness of his or her services and confidential
nature of the Confidential Information he or she possesses, the
covenants set forth herein are reasonable and necessary for the
protection of the business and goodwill of United.

            Executive understands that it is United's intent to
have this promise of confidentiality enforced to its fullest
extent.  Accordingly, Executive and United agree that, if any
portion of this promise of confidentiality is unenforceable, the
court should still construe and enforce this promise of
confidentiality to the fullest extent permitted by law.

           C.        Executive agrees to keep the terms of and
circumstances surrounding this Agreement and of his or her
working arrangement, as defined herein, confidential except that
the source and amount of his or her income may be revealed as
necessary for tax, loan purposes and the like.

           7.        Non-Disparagement.  A.  Executive agrees
not to make, or cause to be made, any statement, observation or
opinion, or communicate any information (whether oral or written,
directly or indirectly) that (a) accuses or implies that United
and/or any of its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, together
with their respective present or former officers, directors,
partners, shareholders, employees and agents, and each of their
predecessors, successors and assigns, engaged in any wrongful,
unlawful or improper conduct, whether relating to Executive's
employment (or the termination thereof), the business or
operations of United, or otherwise; or (b) disparages, im-
                                
                                
                                9

pugns or in any way reflects adversely upon the business or
reputation of United and/or any of its parents, subsidiaries and
affiliates, together with their respective present or former
officers, directors, partners, shareholders, employees and
agents, and each of their predecessors, successors and assigns.

           B.        United agrees not to willfully authorize
any statement, observation or opinion (whether oral or written,
direct or indirect) that is materially injurious to Executive and
that (a) accuses or implies that Executive engaged in any
wrongful, unlawful or improper conduct relating to Executive's
employment with United or (b) disparages, impugns or in any way
reflects adversely upon the reputation of Executive.

           C.        Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude
Executive or United from providing truthful testimony or
information pursuant to subpoena, court order or similar legal
process.

           8.         Non-Solicitation of Employees.  Executive
agrees that Executive will not, for a period of two years
following the Effective Date, directly or indirectly, for the
benefit of any Competitor (as defined in Paragraph 4(B) hereof)
of United, solicit the employment or services of, hire, or assist
in the hiring of any person eligible for the Incentive
Compensation Plan.

           9.        Assent and Release.  A.   In consideration
for the payments and benefits provided in this Agreement,
Executive hereby voluntarily, knowingly, willingly, irrevocably,
and unconditionally releases UA and UAL together with their
respective parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of
their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives,
attorneys and agents, and each of their respective predecessors,
successors and assigns (collectively, the "Releasees") from any
and all charges, complaints, claims, liabilities, obligations,
promises, agreements, causes of action, rights, costs, losses,
debts, and expenses of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown,
which against them Executive or his or her successors or assigns
ever had, now have or hereafter can, shall or may have (either
directly, indirectly, derivatively or in any other representative
capacity) by reason of any matter, fact or cause whatsoever
arising from the beginning of time to the date of this Agreement,
including without limitation all claims arising under Title VII

under this Agreement or in the normal course of Executive's

                               
                               10

employment through the Effective Date.  It is agreed that this
paragraph shall survive termination of the Agreement.  Nothing in
this Paragraph 9 shall affect or impair any right that Executive
has to either (1) indemnification pursuant to United's bylaws or
applicable law or (2) any vested benefit under United's employee
benefit plans.

           B.         Executive expressly acknowledges and
agrees that, by entering into this Agreement, Executive is
waiving any and all rights or claims that he or she may have
arising under the ADEA, as amended, which have arisen on or
before the date of execution of this Agreement.  Executive
further expressly acknowledges and agrees that:

           (i)    In return for this Agreement, Executive
                  will receive compensation beyond that which he or she
                  was already entitled to receive before entering into
                  this Agreement;

           (ii)   Executive has been advised by United to
                  consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement;

           (iii)  Executive was given a copy of this Agreement on or 
                  before October 15, 1998, and was given another copy 
                  of this Agreement on ________________.*  Executive 
                  has been informed that Executive has not less
                  than forty-five (45) days from ____________** within
                  which to consider the Agreement and, if Executive
                  considers this Agreement for fewer than 45 days, then
                  Executive agrees that he or she has had a reasonable
                  period of time to consider the Agreement; and

           (iv)   Executive was informed that Executive had seven (7) 
                  days following the date of execution of the
                  Agreement in which to revoke the Agreement.  After
                  seven (7) days this Agreement will become effective,
                  enforceable and irrevocable unless written revocation
                  is received by the undersigned from Executive on or
                  before the close of business on the seventh (7th) day
                  after Executive executed this Agreement.  If Executive
                  revokes this Agreement it shall not be effective or
                  enforceable and Executive will not receive the
                  compensation or benefits described in this Agreement.

           C.     Waiver of Unknown Claims.  It is the intention of Executive 
and United in executing this Agreement that the same shall be effective as a 
bar to each and every claim, demand and cause of action hereinabove specified.  
In furtherance of this intention, Executive hereby expressly waives any and
all rights and benefits conferred upon Executive by the

                               11

provisions of SECTION 1542 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, to the
extent applicable to Executive, and expressly consents that this
Agreement shall be given full force and effect according to each
and all of its express terms and provisions, including as well
those related to unknown and unsuspected claims, demands and
causes of action, if any, as well as those relating to any other
claims, demands and causes of action hereinabove specified.
SECTION 1542 provides:

           "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH
     THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER
     FAVOR AT TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY
     HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER
     SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

           Executive acknowledges that Executive may hereafter
discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those
which Executive now knows or believes to exist with respect to
the subject matter of this Agreement and which, if known or
suspected at the time of executing this Agreement, may have
materially affected this settlement.

            10.       Non-Assignability, Assignment in the Event
of Acquisition or Merger.  This Agreement and the benefits
hereunder are not assignable or transferable by Executive; the
rights and obligations of United under this Agreement will
automatically be deemed to be assigned by United to any
corporation or entity into which United may be merged or
consolidate.

            11.       Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois,
and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by the
laws of, the State of Illinois, without regard to principles of
conflict of laws.

            12.       Paragraph Reference.  Any reference to
paragraphs or subparagraphs shall be references to paragraphs or
subparagraphs of this Agreement unless expressly stated
otherwise.

            13.      Severability.  If any provision of this
Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the
invalidity shall not affect the other provisions or applications
of this Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid
provisions or application in accordance with the essential intent
and purpose of this Agreement, and to this end the provisions of
this Agreement are declared to be severable.  Moreover, if any
one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held
to be excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or
subject, such provisions will be construed by limiting and
reducing them so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent
compatible with applicable law and with the essential intent and
purpose of this Agreement.

            14.       Supersedes Prior Agreement(s).  This
Agreement and the Initial Agreement

                               
                               12

supersede and void any prior oral or written agreement relating
in any way to Executive's employment with UA or UAL which may
have been entered into between the parties hereto.  Any change to
this Agreement or the Initial Agreement after its respective
effective date must be in writing and must be executed by UA, UAL
and Executive.

            15.       No Mitigation.  United agrees that
Executive is not required to seek other employment or to attempt
in any way to reduce any amounts payable to Executive by United
pursuant to this Agreement.  Furthermore, the amount of any
payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement shall not be
reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of
employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset
against any amount claimed to be owed by Executive to United, or
otherwise.

            16.       Legal Fees, Arbitration.  United shall pay
to Executive all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by
Executive in disputing in good faith any issue hereunder or under
the Initial Agreement or in seeking in good faith to obtain or
enforce any benefit or right provided hereunder or under the
Initial Agreement.  Payments requested by Executive pursuant to
this Paragraph 16 shall be made, without exception, within five
(5) business days after delivery of Executive's written requests
for payment accompanied with such evidence of fees and expenses
incurred as United reasonably may require.  Any dispute or
controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement or
the Initial Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration
in Chicago, Illinois, in accordance with the National Rules for
the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect.  Executive consents to arbitration in
Chicago, Illinois, as set forth above, agrees that judgment may
be entered in the courts of the State of Illinois on any such
arbitration award, consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of
Illinois, both state and federal, for the enforcement of any such
arbitration award and agrees not to disturb such choice of forum.
Notwithstanding the above, Executive further agrees that United
may seek temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief to
enforce the provisions contained in Paragraph 6, without first
proceeding to arbitration.

            
                               13

                        United and Executive, having read and
understood this Agreement and, having consulted with others as
appropriate, hereby agree to be bound by its terms.

1.     Formula.
       -------

       The Airframe Price Adjustment will be determined at the
time of Aircraft delivery in accordance with the following
formula:

       Pa = (P)(L + M - 1)

       Where:

            Pa = Airframe Price Adjustment

            L = .65 x ECI

         2.1 occurs.

     D = The calendar year during which the scheduled month of
         delivery as set forth in Article 2.1 occurs.

2.     If at any time of delivery of an Aircraft Boeing is unable
to determine the Airframe Price Adjustment because the applicable
values to be used to determine the ECI and ICI have not been
released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, then:

       2.1     The Airframe Price Adjustment, to be used at the
time of delivery of each of the Aircraft, will be determined by
utilizing the escalation provisions set forth above.  The values
released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and available to
Boeing 30 days prior to scheduled Aircraft delivery will be used
to determine the ECI and ICI values for the applicable months

Exhibit D-1 Page 3


(including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics) to calculate the Airframe Price Adjustment.  If no
values have been released for an applicable month, the provisions
set forth in Paragraph 2.2 below will apply.  If prior to
delivery of an Aircraft the U.S. Department of Labor changes the
base year for determination of the ECI or ICI values as defined
above, such rebased values will be incorporated in the Airframe
Price Adjustment calculation.  The payment by Buyer to Boeing of
the amount of the Purchase Price for such Aircraft, as determined
at the time of Aircraft delivery, will be deemed to be the
payment for such Aircraft required at the delivery thereof.

     2.2     If prior to delivery of an Aircraft the U.S.
Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology used
for the determination of the values to be used to determine the
ECI and ICI values (in contrast to benchmark adjustments or other
corrections of previously released values), or for any reason has
not released values needed to determine the applicable Aircraft
Airframe Price Adjustment, the parties will, prior to delivery of
any such Aircraft, select a substitute for such values from data
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for other similar
data reported by non-governmental United States organizations,
such substitute to lead in application to the same adjustment
result, insofar as possible, as would have been achieved by
continuing the use of the original values as they may have
fluctuated during the applicable time period.  Appropriate
revision of the formula will be made as required to reflect any
substitute values.  However, if within 24 months from delivery of
the Aircraft the Bureau of Labor Statistics should resume
releasing values for the months needed to determine the Airframe
Price Adjustment, such values will be used to determine any
increase or decrease in the Airframe Price Adjustment for the
Aircraft from that determined at the time of delivery of such
Aircraft.

     2.3     In the event escalation provisions are made non-
enforceable or otherwise rendered null and void by any agency of
the United States Government, the parties agree, to the extent
they may lawfully do so, to equitably adjust the Purchase Price
of any affected Aircraft to reflect an allowance for increases or
decreases in labor compensation and material costs occurring
since February, 1995, which is consistent with the applicable
provisions of paragraph 1 of this Exhibit D-1.

3.     For the calculations herein, the values released by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics and available to Boeing 30 days prior
to scheduled Aircraft delivery will be used to determine the ECI
and ICI values for the applicable months (including those noted
as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate
the Airframe Price Adjustment.

Note:     Any rounding of a number, as required under this
- ----      Exhibit D-1 with respect to escalation of the airframe
          price, will be accomplished as follows:  if the first
          digit of the portion to be dropped from the number to
          be rounded is five or greater, the preceding digit will
          be raised to the next higher number.

   BLOCK B "A" MARKET AIRCRAFT AND BLOCK C "B" MARKET AIRCRAFT
                        (1995 BASE PRICE)


(a)     The Aircraft Basic Price of each Block B "A" Market
Aircraft and Block C "B" Market Aircraft set forth in Article 3.2
of this Agreement includes an aggregate price for engines and all
accessories, equipment and parts therefor provided by the engine
manufacturer (collectively in this Exhibit D-1 called "Engines")
of [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].  The adjustment in Engine price
applicable to each Aircraft ("Engine Price Adjustment" herein)
will be determined at the time of Aircraft delivery in accordance
with the following formula:

        Pa = (P)(AA + BB + CC)-P

(b)     The following definitions will apply herein:

        Pa = Engine Price Adjustment

        P = Aggregate Engine Base Price as set forth in paragraph
           (a) above.

        AA = .60 x   L
                 ---------
                  $17.80

        BB = .30 x   M
                 ---------
                   130.6

        CC = .10 x   E
                 ---------
                   76.6

In determining the value of AA, BB and CC, the ratio of L divided
by $17.80, M divided by 130.6 and E divided by 76.6 will be
expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth
but the decimal value resulting from multiplying such ratios by
the respective constants (.60, .30 and .10) will not be rounded.
The value of the sum of AA + BB + CC will also be rounded to the
nearest ten-thousandth.

        L = Labor Index, which is the "Hourly Earnings of
            Aircraft Engines and Engine Parts Production Workers,
            SIC 3724" published by the Bureau of Labor
            Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, for the
            seventh month preceding the month of scheduled
            Aircraft delivery.

        $17.80 = Published Labor Index (SIC 3724) for December,
                 1994.

        M = Material Index, which is the "Producer Price Index -
            Code 10, Metals and Metal Products," (Base Year 1982
            = 100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
            U.S. Department of Labor, for the seventh month
            preceding the month of scheduled Aircraft delivery.

        130.6 = Published Material Index (Code 10) for December,
                1994.

        E = Fuel Index, which is the "Producer Price Index -
            Code 5, Fuels and Related Products and Power" (Base
            Year 1982 = 100) published for the Bureau of Labor
            Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, for the seventh
            Month preceding the month of scheduled Aircraft
            Delivery.

        76.6 = Published Fuel Index (Code 5) for December, 1994.

The Engine Price Adjustment will not be made if it would result
in a decrease in the aggregate Engine base price.

(c)     The value of the Labor, Material and Fuel Index used in
determining the Engine Price Adjustment will be those published
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor as of
a date 30 days prior to the scheduled Aircraft delivery to Buyer.
Such Index values will be considered final and no revision to the
Engine Price Adjustment will be made after Aircraft delivery for
any subsequent changes in published Index values.

(d)     If the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of
Labor, (i) substantially revises the methodology (in contrast to
benchmark adjustments or other corrections of previously
published data), or (ii) discontinues publication of any of the
data referred to above or (iii) temporarily discontinues
publication of any of the data referred to above, Pratt & Whitney
Aircraft (P&WA) agrees to meet jointly with Boeing and Buyer and
jointly select a substitute for the revised or discontinued data,
such substitute data to lead in application to the same
adjustment result, insofar as possible, as would have been
achieved by continuing the use of the original data as it may
have fluctuated had it not been revised or discontinued.
Appropriate revision of the Engine Price Adjustment provisions
set forth above will be made to accomplish this result for
affected Engines.

In the event the Engine Price Adjustment escalation provisions of
this Agreement are made non-enforceable or otherwise rendered
null and void by any agency of the United States Government, P&WA
agrees to meet with Boeing and jointly agree, to the extent that
they may lawfully do so, to adjust equitably the purchase price
of the Engine(s) to reflect an allowance for increases in labor,
material and fuel costs that occurred from December, 1994 to the
seventh month preceding the month of scheduled delivery of the
applicable Aircraft.

NOTES:  Any rounding of a number, as required under this Exhibit
D-1 with respect to escalation of the Engine price, will be
accomplished as follows:  if the first digit of the portion to be
dropped from the number to be rounded is five or greater, the
preceding digit will be raised to the next higher number.

       The Manufacturer's Empty Weight (MEW) is guaranteed not to
exceed the [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST
FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].

4      AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION

4.1    The guarantees contained in this Attachment are based on
the Aircraft configuration as defined in Revision H of Detail
Specification [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT
TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] (hereinafter referred to
as the Detail Specification).  Appropriate adjustment shall be
made for changes in such Detail Specification approved by the
Customer and Boeing or otherwise allowed by the Purchase
Agreement which cause changes to the flight performance and/or
weight and balance of the Aircraft.  Such adjustment shall be
accounted for by Boeing in its evidence of compliance with the
guarantees.

4.2     The guarantee payload of Paragraph 2.1.1 will be adjusted
by Boeing for the effect of the following on OEW and the
Manufacturer's Empty Weight guarantee of Section 3 will be
adjusted by Boeing for the following in its evidence of
compliance with the guarantees:

        (1)     Changes to the Detail Specification including
Change Requests, Change Orders, Optional Features or any other
changes mutually agreed upon between the Customer and Boeing or
otherwise allowed by the Purchase Agreement.

        (2)     The difference between the component weight
allowances given in Appendix IV of the Detail Specification and
the actual weights.

5       GUARANTEE CONDITIONS

5.1     All guaranteed performance data are based on the ICAO
International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) and specified variations
therefrom; altitudes are pressure altitudes.

5.2     The FAA Regulations (FAR) referred to in this Attachment
are, unless otherwise specified, the 777-200 Certification Basis
regulations specified in the Type Certificate Data Sheet
T-00001SE, Revision 4, dated April 18, 1996.

regulation or requirement that affects the certification basis
for the Aircraft as described in Paragraph 5.2, and as a result
thereof, a change is made to the configuration and/or the
performance of the Aircraft in order to obtain certification, the
guarantees set forth in this Attachment shall be appropriately
modified to reflect any such change.

5.4     The takeoff portion of the mission guarantee is based on
hard surface, level and dry runway with no wind or obstacles, no
clearway or stopway, 235 mph tires, with anti-skid operative, and
with the Aircraft center of gravity at the most forward limit
unless otherwise specified.  The takeoff performance is based on
no engine bleed for air conditioning or thermal anti-icing and
the Auxiliary Power Unit(APU) turned off unless otherwise
specified.  Unbalanced field length calculations and the improved
climb performance procedure will be used for takeoff as required.

5.5     The climb, cruise and descent portions of the mission
guarantee include allowances for normal power extraction and
engine bleed for normal operation of the air conditioning system.
Normal electrical power extraction shall be defined as not less
than a 212 kilowatts total electrical load.  Normal operation of
the air conditioning system shall be defined as pack switches in
the "Auto" position, the temperature control switches in the
"Auto" position that results in a nominal cabin temperature of
75 degrees Fahrenheit, and all air conditioning systems operating 
normally.  This operation allows a maximum cabin pressure differential 
of 8.6 pounds per square inch at higher altitudes, with a nominal
Aircraft cabin ventilation rate of 7,600 cubic feet per minute
including passenger cabin recirculation (nominal recirculation is
50 percent).  The APU is turned off unless otherwise specified.

5.6     The climb, cruise and descent portions of the mission
guarantee are based on an Aircraft center of gravity location as
determined by Boeing, not to be aft of 30 percent of the mean
aerodynamic chord.

5.7     Performance, where applicable, is based on a fuel Lower
Heating Value (LHV) of 18,580 BTU per pound and a fuel density of
6.70 pounds per U.S. gallon.

6       GUARANTEE COMPLIANCE

6.1     Compliance with the guarantees of Sections 2 and 3 shall
be based on the conditions specified in those sections, the
Aircraft configuration of Section 4 and the guarantee conditions
of Section 5.

6.2     Compliance with the takeoff portion of the mission
guarantee shall be based on the FAA approved Airplane Flight
Manual for the Model 777-200.

6.3     Compliance with the climb, cruise and descent portions of
the mission guarantee shall be established by calculations based
on flight test data obtained from an aircraft in a configuration
similar to that defined by the Detail Specification.

6.4     [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].

6.5     Compliance with the Manufacturer's Empty Weight guarantee
shall be based on information in the "Weight and Balance Control
and Loading Manual - Aircraft Report."

6.6     The data derived from tests shall be adjusted as required
by conventional methods of correction, interpolation or
extrapolation in accordance with established engineering
practices to show compliance with these guarantees.

                The following obstacle definition is based on a
                straight-out departure where obstacle height and
                distance are specified with reference to the
                liftoff end of the runway:

                              Distance              Height
                         1.   1641 feet            26 feet
                         2.   3462 feet            46 feet

                Maximum takeoff thrust is used for the takeoff.

                The takeoff gross weight shall conform to FAA
                Regulations.

     Climbout   Following the takeoff to 35 feet, the Aircraft
     Maneuver:  accelerates to 250 KCAS while climbing to 1,500
                feet above the departure airport altitude and
                retracting flaps and landing gear.

     Climb:     The Aircraft climbs from 1,500 feet above the
                departure airport altitude to 10,000 feet
                altitude at 250 KCAS.

                The Aircraft then accelerates at a rate of climb
                of 500 feet per minute to a climb speed of 315
                KCAS.

                The climb continues at 315 KCAS until 0.83 Mach
                number is reached.

                The climb continues at 0.83 Mach number to the
                initial cruise altitude.

                The temperature is ISA+10 degrees Celsius during climb.

                Maximum climb thrust is used during climb.

     Cruise:    The Aircraft cruises at 0.84 Mach number.

                The initial cruise altitude is 31,000 feet.

                A step climb or multiple step climbs of
                4,000 feet altitude may be used when beneficial
                to minimize fuel burn.

                The temperature is ISA+10 degrees Celsius during cruise.

                The cruise thrust is not to exceed maximum
                cruise thrust except during a step climb when
                maximum climb thrust may be used.

     Descent:   The Aircraft descends from the final cruise
                altitude at 0.83 Mach number until 300 KCAS is
                reached.

                The descent continues at 300 KCAS to an altitude
                of 10,000 feet.  At that altitude the Aircraft
                decelerates to 250 KCAS.

                The descent continues at 250 KCAS to an altitude
                of 1,500 feet above the destination airport
                altitude.

                Throughout the descent, the cabin pressure will
                be controlled to a maximum rate of descent
                equivalent to 300 feet per minute at sea level.

                The temperature is ISA+10 degrees Celsius during descent.

     Approach   The Aircraft decelerates to the final approach
     and        speed while extending landing gear and flaps,
     Landing    then descends and lands.

unless otherwise specified.  The takeoff performance is based on
no engine bleed for air conditioning or thermal anti-icing and
the Auxiliary Power Unit(APU) turned off unless otherwise
specified.  Unbalanced field length calculations and the improved
climb performance procedure will be used for takeoff as required.

5.5     The climb, cruise and descent portions of the mission
guarantee include allowances for normal power extraction and
engine bleed for normal operation of the air conditioning system.
Normal electrical power extraction shall be defined as not less
than a 212 kilowatts total electrical load.  Normal operation of
the air conditioning system shall be defined as pack switches in
the "Auto" position, the temperature control switches in the
"Auto" position that results in a nominal cabin temperature of
75 degrees Fahrenheit, and all air conditioning systems operating 
normally.  This operation allows a maximum cabin pressure differential 
of 8.6 pounds per square inch at higher altitudes, with a nominal
Aircraft cabin ventilation rate of 7,600 cubic feet per minute
including passenger cabin recirculation (nominal recirculation is
50 percent).  The APU is turned off unless otherwise specified.

5.6     The climb, cruise and descent portions of the mission
guarantee are based on an Aircraft center of gravity location as
determined by Boeing, not to be aft of 30 percent of the mean
aerodynamic chord.

5.7     Performance, where applicable, is based on a fuel Lower
Heating Value (LHV) of 18,580 BTU per pound and a fuel density of
6.70 pounds per U.S. gallon.

the mission guarantee shall be established by calculations based
on flight test data obtained from an aircraft in a configuration
similar to that defined by the Detail Specification.

6.4     [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].

6.5     Compliance with the Manufacturer's Empty Weight guarantee
shall be based on information in the "Weight and Balance Control
and Loading Manual - Aircraft Report."

6.6     The data derived from tests shall be adjusted as required
by conventional methods of correction, interpolation or
extrapolation in accordance with established engineering
practices to show compliance with these guarantees.

6.7     Compliance shall be based on the performance of the
airframe and engines in combination, and shall not be contingent
on the engine meeting its manufacturer's performance
specification.

7       EXCLUSIVE GUARANTEES

        The only performance guarantees applicable to the
Aircraft are those set forth in this Attachment.

Subject:     Delivery Delay Resolution Program

Reference:   Purchase Agreement No. 1485 (the 757 Purchase
             Agreement) between Boeing and Buyer relating
             to Model 757-222 aircraft (the Aircraft)



This Letter Agreement amends and supplements the Purchase
Agreement.  All terms used but not defined in this Letter
Agreement have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

1.     Revised Delivery of Aircraft.
       ----------------------------

       Boeing has found it necessary to reschedule the delivery
month of certain Aircraft (the Delayed Aircraft) as set forth
below:

       Original Schedule Month         Revised Schedule Month
       -----------------------         ----------------------

            October 1997                    November 1997
            January 1998                    February 1998
            February 1998                   March 1998
            December 1998                   January 1999

Boeing shall deliver each Delayed Aircraft in accordance with the
terms of the Purchase Agreement during [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL
OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].
The calendar interval between the original schedule and revised
schedule described above is the "Delay Period."


P.A. 1485


UNITED AIR LINES, INC.
6-1162-MDH-668     Page 2



Boeing has not yet established its final production plan for all
potentially impacted Aircraft or Delayed Aircraft.  To the extent
that additional delivery schedule revisions are required, the
terms and conditions (including, if agreed, appropriate
adjustment to advance payment schedules and the Pool (as defined
below)) relating to such additional delivery schedule revisions
shall be [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST
FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].

2.     Aircraft Purchase Price.
       -----------------------

       The Purchase Price for the Delayed Aircraft, including the
Airframe and Engine Price Adjustment Due to Economic Fluctuation
set forth in the applicable Exhibit D to the Purchase Agreement,
shall be calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement
[*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].

3.     Adjusted Advance Payments Schedule for Aircraft, Delayed
Aircraft and Other Undelivered 747, 767 and 777 Aircraft.

3.1    Dollar-Day Pool.
       ---------------

       It is understood and agreed the advance payment schedules
for the Delayed Aircraft specified payment earlier than required
for a delivery on the revised schedule.  Therefore, Boeing will
establish a "Dollar-Day Pool" which may be used by Buyer to
revise the advance payment schedules for Aircraft, Delayed
Aircraft or other undelivered 747, 767 or 777 aircraft ordered in
other purchase agreements in effect between Boeing and Buyer to
the extent necessary to adjust for early payments for the Delayed
Aircraft.  As shown in Attachment A to this Letter Agreement, the
Dollar-Day Pool amount has been determined by multiplying the
dollar amount of each advance payment made by Buyer for the
Delayed Aircraft, times the number of days the advance payment
was made early, due to delay rescheduling.  Subject to the
provisions below, Buyer may draw from the Pool [*CONFIDENTIAL
MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT] to defer advance payments for Aircraft, Delayed
Aircraft or other undelivered 747, 767 or 777 aircraft ordered in
other purchase agreements in effect between Boeing and Buyer, but
may not utilize the Pool to defer final payment of the purchase
price for any aircraft.


P.A. 1485


UNITED AIR LINES, INC.
6-1162-MDH-668     Page 3

3.2     Notification Requirements.
        -------------------------

        Buyer shall notify Boeing of its utilization of the Pool
upon each such occurrence, and provide a calculation of the
Dollar-Day Pool reduction resulting from such utilization.
Within five days of receipt of Buyer's notification, Boeing will
provide their concurrence with such calculation or otherwise
advise Buyer of their finding.

3.3     Pool Termination.
        ----------------

        Buyer shall exhaust the Pool contents prior to
[*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].  Any Dollar-Day amounts remaining in the
Pool as of that date will be allocated by Boeing at its sole
discretion to Aircraft, Delayed Aircraft or other undelivered
747, 767 or 777 aircraft ordered in other purchase agreements in
effect between Boeing and Buyer, and the Pool shall be
terminated.

4.     [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH
        THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A
        REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT]

4.1    Undelivered Delayed Aircraft.
       ----------------------------

       Boeing will pay to Buyer on the date of delivery the
settlement amount calculated from the table provided in
Attachment B hereto for each day of delay, beginning with the
[*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] for delivery of each such Delayed
Aircraft.  The settlement amount, so calculated (the Monetary
Adjustment), will be provided to Buyer [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL
OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].

4.2     Delivered Delayed Aircraft.
        --------------------------

        For Delayed Aircraft that have been delivered prior to
execution of this Letter Agreement, Boeing will issue such
Monetary Adjustment [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED

4.3     Further Delays.
        --------------

        In the event that delivery of any Delayed Aircraft is
further delayed beyond the Revised Schedule Month shown above,
the Monetary Adjustment provided for such further delay period
shall be [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY
WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST
FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].

5.      Advance Payment Credit Memorandum.
        ---------------------------------

        Boeing and Buyer agree advance payments for the Delayed
Aircraft will be paid by Buyer to Boeing in accordance with the
Adjusted Advance Payment Schedules.  Notwithstanding such payment
Boeing and Buyer agree for purposes of [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL
OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] the
advance payments originally due to be paid by Buyer to Boeing for
a Delayed Aircraft prior to the rescheduling of delivery months
as provided in this Letter Agreement shall be deemed to have been
paid by Buyer and received by Boeing in accordance with
[*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].

6.      Purchase Agreement Revision.
        ---------------------------

6.1     Liquidated Damages and Rights of Termination.
        --------------------------------------------

        With respect to the Delayed Aircraft set forth in
paragraph 1. Revised Delivery of Aircraft above, this letter
Agreement cancels and supersedes Letter Agreement 6-1162-GKW-142
to Purchase Agreement No. 1485 entitled "Liquidated Damages and
Rights of Termination", [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT
TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT].

6.2     Other Rights and Obligations.
        ----------------------------

        Except as specifically set forth in this Letter
Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties under the
terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, including the
provisions of Article 6, Excusable Delay, remain in full force
and effect.

This Letter Agreement amends and supplements the Purchase
Agreement.  All terms used but not defined in this Letter
Agreement have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

1.     Revised Delivery of Aircraft
       ----------------------------

       Boeing has found it necessary to reschedule the delivery
month of certain Aircraft (the Delayed aircraft) as set forth
below:

    Original Schedule Month            Revised Schedule Month
    -----------------------            ----------------------

        March 1999                         April 1999

Boeing shall deliver each Delayed Aircraft in accordance with the
terms of the Purchase Agreement during [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL

The calendar interval between the original schedule and revised
schedule described above is the "Delay Period."

Boeing has not yet established its final production plan for all
potentially impacted Aircraft or Delayed Aircraft.  To the extent
that additional delivery schedule revisions are required, the
terms and conditions (including, if agreed, appropriate
adjustment to advance payment schedules and the Pool (as defined
below)) relating to such additional delivery schedule revisions
shall be [*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY

2.     Aircraft Purchase Price.
       -----------------------

       The Purchase Price for the Delayed Aircraft, including the
Airframe and Engine Price Adjustment Due to Economic Fluctuation
set forth in the applicable Exhibit D to the Purchase Agreement,
shall be calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement
[*CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR

3.     Adjusted Advance Payments Schedule for Aircraft, Delayed
       Aircraft and Other Undelivered 757, 767 and 777 Aircraft.
       --------------------------------------------------------

       
       3.1    Dollar-Day Pool.
              ---------------

       It is understood and agreed the advance payment schedules
for the Delayed Aircraft specified payment earlier than required
for a delivery on the revised schedule.  Therefore, Boeing will
establish a "Dollar-Day Pool" which may be used by Buyer to
revise the advance payment schedules for Aircraft, Delayed
Aircraft or other undelivered 757, 767 or 777 aircraft ordered in
other purchase agreements in effect between Boeing and Buyer to
the extent necessary to adjust for early payments for the Delayed
Aircraft.  As shown in Attachment A to this Letter Agreement, the
Dollar-Day Pool amount has been determined by multiplying the
dollar amount of each advance payment made by Buyer for the
Delayed Aircraft, times the number of days the advance payment
was made early, due to delay rescheduling.  Subject to the
provisions below, Buyer may draw from the Pool [*CONFIDENTIAL
MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT] to defer advance payments for Aircraft, Delayed
Aircraft or other undelivered 757, 767 or 777 aircraft ordered in
other purchase agreements in effect between Boeing and Buyer, but
may not utilize the Pool to defer final payment of the purchase
price for any aircraft.

3.2     Notification Requirements.
        -------------------------

Buyer shall notify Boeing of its utilization of the Pool upon
each such occurrence, and provide a calculation of the Dollar-Day
Pool reduction resulting from such utilization.  Within five days
of receipt of Buyer's notification, Boeing will provide their
concurrence with such calculation or otherwise advise Buyer of
their finding.


3.3     Pool Termination.

            REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
            ----------------------------------------


To UAL Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position
of  the  Employees' Stock Purchase Plan of UAL  Corporation  (the
"Plan")  as  of  December  31, 1998  and  1997  and  the  related
statements  of changes in participants' equity for  each  of  the
three  years  in  the  period ended  December  31,  1998.   These
financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the   Plan's
administrator.  Our responsibility is to express  an  opinion  on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits in accordance with generally  accepted
auditing  standards.  Those standards require that  we  plan  and
perform  the  audit to obtain reasonable assurance about  whether
the  financial statements are free of material misstatement.   An
audit  includes  examining, on a test basis, evidence  supporting
the  amounts  and  disclosures in the financial  statements.   An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used  and
significant estimates made by the Plan's administrator,  as  well
as  evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.   We
believe  that  our  audits  provide a reasonable  basis  for  our
opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  financial statements  referred  to  above
present  fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of  the Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the changes  in
its  participants'  equity for each of the  three  years  in  the
period  ended  December  31, 1998, in conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

EMPLOYEES' STOCK PURCHASE PLAN ------------------------------ OF UAL CORPORATION ------------------ NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- (1) The Plan - ------------- The Employees' Stock Purchase Plan of UAL Corporation (the "Plan") is sponsored by UAL Corporation ("UAL"). UAL offers participation in the Plan to eligible employees of UAL and its subsidiaries. (2) Purchase and Distribution of Stock - --------------------------------------- Purchases are made by the Plan monthly, and the shares purchased are credited to the accounts of each participant on the basis of the ratio of the participant's contribution to total participants' contributions for the month. The cost of common stock purchased for the Plan includes all brokerage charges involved in the purchase. When shares of stock are distributed to the individual participants pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the market value of such shares is removed from the investment account of the Plan. Terminating participants receive a certificate for the full number of shares, plus cash for the fractional shares, held for their accounts. Partially withdrawing participants receive certificates for the full number of shares withdrawn. There are no forfeiture provisions under the Plan with respect to participants' contributions.

(4) Realized Gain on Stock Distributed to Participants - ------------------------------------------------------- Gains on stock distributed to participants are realized to the extent of the difference between the weighted average cost of shares distributed and the market value at the date of distribution. (5) Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) in Value of Investment - ------------------------------------------------------------------ The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the value of investment is the change from the prior year-end to the current year-end in the difference between the market value and the cost of the investment. The following is a summary of unrealized appreciation (depreciation):
1998 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- (In Thousands) Balance at beginning of year $ 29,612 $ 18,111 $ 10,025 Increase (decrease) during year (19,298) 11,501 8,086 -------- ------- -------- Balance at end of year $ 10,314 $ 29,612 $ 18,111 ========= ======== ========
(6) Administrative Expenses of the Plan - ---------------------------------------- All administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by UAL. (7) Federal Income Tax - ----------------------- Under existing federal income tax laws, the Plan is not subject to federal income tax. Any dividend income is taxable to the participants upon distribution and receipt. When any shares of stock or rights acquired under the Plan are sold by or for a participant, any gain or loss must be recognized by that participant.
