March 22, 2001
DEAR FELLOW OWNER:

The year 2000 was a difficult one for United as well as the industry.
Despite these challenges, we were able to make several significant strategic
moves that we believe will profoundly shape our company's future.

Our biggest news was our announcement of our intention to acquire US
Airways, a move that will enable us to provide customers with greater access and
more convenient travel opportunities, as well as address the weak link of our
otherwise prominent U.S. domestic network. We also launched United NewVentures,
a subsidiary of UAL Corporation, which is allowing us to harness considerable
e-commerce opportunities and at the same time improve customer service. We made
significant developments in the products we offer our premium customers, and we
saw Star Alliance grow to give our customers even greater worldwide access.

As part of our initiative to return cash to stockholders, we declared and
paid dividends under our new dividend program.

In addition, we resolved five of the labor contracts that became amendable
with the end of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan allocation period in 2000, and
contained costs through our successful fuel hedging program and strategic
adjustments to our fleet plan. We continue to work towards a successful
conclusion to contract discussions with other key segments of our represented
employees. 2000 was not an easy year, but I believe it will be remembered as the
year United rose above its challenges and set the course for our successful
future.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I'm pleased to invite you to the 2001
Annual Meeting of Stockholders. A notice of the 2001 annual meeting and proxy
statement follows. You will also find your proxy or voting direction card and
the 2000 annual report. I am pleased to inform you that you have three ways to
vote your proxy or voting direction card.

1. VOTE BY INTERNET at HTTP://WWW.COMPUTERSHARE.COM/US/PROXY

2. VOTE BY PHONE by using the 1-888 number on your proxy or voting
direction card

3. VOTE BY MAIL, by signing and dating the proxy or voting direction card
enclosed in this package and returning it in the postage paid envelope
that is provided

Your vote is important. Please take a moment now to vote, even if you plan
to attend the meeting. I encourage you to use the "vote by Internet" option.

Sincerely,

/s/ James E. Goodwin

VOTING RIGHTS AND PROXY INFORMATION

HOW DO ESOP PARTICIPANTS VOTE?

Special voting rules will apply to ESOP participants who hold voting
preferred stock through the ESOP Trustee. ESOP participants may vote by
Internet, telephone or mail. Please consult your accompanying materials for
information concerning the voting of these shares.

The P, M and S classes of ESOP voting preferred stock, held by a trust
established under a tax-qualified employee stock ownership plan (called the
qualified ESOP) that have been allocated to individual participants in the ESOP,
will be voted by participants, as named fiduciaries under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 on a confidential pass-through basis. The
ESOP Trustee generally is obligated to vote as instructed by the participants to
whom the voting preferred stock has been allocated, and the outstanding shares
command the entire voting power of each class of voting preferred stock. The
Class P voting preferred stock allocated to former employees who were members of
ALPA will be voted by the ESOP Trustee. The ESOP Trustee will (except as may be

required by law) vote the unallocated or otherwise unvoted shares in this
qualified ESOP in proportions directed by participants who give instructions to
the ESOP Trustee for these shares. Each participant who is an employee has the
right to give directions to the ESOP Trustee in the proportion that the
participant's allocated shares bears to the allocated shares of all participants
giving directions.

Shares held by the ESOP Trustee under a non-qualified employee stock
ownership plan (called the supplemental ESOP) will be voted as instructed by the
administrative committee appointed under the supplemental ESOP. The
administrative committee will consider the views of participants concerning the
vote, but is not required to take any particular action in response to those
views.

WHAT CLASSES OF STOCK VOTE FOR WHICH MATTERS AND WHAT IS THE VOTE REQUIRED?

The holders of common stock; the P, M and S classes of voting preferred
stock; and the Class Pilot MEC, IAM and SAM stocks will vote together as a
single class on all items at the annual meeting except the election of
directors. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of
the total voting power of the shares of all the classes outstanding at the
record date is necessary to constitute a quorum at the meeting for all items of
business other than the election of directors. The Class I stock does not vote
on any matter other than the election of the Independent Directors (as defined
in our restated certificate of incorporation, also called our charter).

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the total
voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the election of a
particular class of director(s) is necessary to constitute a quorum at the
meeting for voting on that matter.

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law and our charter (1) the
affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of capital stock present in person
or by proxy at the meeting representing a plurality of the votes cast on the
matter will be required to elect the directors to be elected by the applicable
class of capital stock, and (2) the affirmative vote of the holders of the
shares of capital stock representing a majority of the votes present in person
or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to be cast on the matter will be
required to approve the other matters in this notice of meeting and proxy
statement.

HOW DO ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON-VOTES WORK?

Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the matters presented for
a vote of the stockholders (other than the election of directors). This is
because abstaining shares are considered present and unvoted, which means they
have the same effect as votes against the matter. Abstentions have no effect on
the election of directors. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome
of the vote on any of the matters presented for your vote and will not be
counted for purposes of establishing a quorum.

HOW DOES THE PROXY VOTING PROCESS WORK?

If the proxy card is voted properly by using the Internet or telephone
procedures specified or is properly returned by dating, signing and mailing, the
proxy will be voted at

the annual meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated by it. Our
Board does not know of any matters, other than as described in this notice of
annual meeting and proxy statement, which are to come before the annual meeting.
If a proxy is given, the persons named in the proxy will have authority to vote
in accordance with their best judgment on any other matter that is properly
presented at the meeting for action, including any proposal to adjourn or
concerning the conduct of the meeting.

If a quorum is not present at the time the annual meeting is convened for
any particular purpose, or if for any other reason we believe that additional
time should be allowed for the solicitation of proxies, we may adjourn the
meeting with your vote then present. The persons named in the proxy may vote any
shares of capital stock for which they have voting authority in favor of an
adjournment.

HOW IS MY PROXY VOTED IF I DO NOT INDICATE HOW TO VOTE?

If no instructions are indicated, proxies will be voted (1) for the election
of directors of the class on which the shares represented by the proxy are
entitled to vote, (2) for the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP, (3) against
the stockholder proposal concerning compensation of directors, and (4) against
the stockholder proposal concerning certain business combinations.

HOW DO I REVOKE A PROXY?

Any proxy may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before it is
voted. We have not established any specified formal procedure for revoking. A
proxy may be revoked by a later proxy delivered using the Internet or telephone
voting procedures or by mail to the Secretary. A proxy may also be revoked by
written notice mailed to the Secretary. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will
not automatically revoke a proxy, but a holder of common stock in attendance may
request a ballot and vote in person, which revokes a prior granted proxy.

HOW ARE PROXIES BEING SOLICITED AND WHO PAYS SOLICITATION EXPENSES?

Proxies are being solicited by and on behalf of the Board. All expenses of
the solicitation, including the cost of preparing and mailing this proxy
statement, will be borne by us. In addition to solicitation by use of mails,
proxies may be solicited by our directors, officers and employees in person or
by telephone or other means of communication. These individuals will not be
additionally compensated, but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses
associated with solicitation. Arrangements will also be made with custodians,
nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding of proxy solicitation material to
beneficial owners of common stock and voting preferred stock held of record, and
we may reimburse these individuals for their reasonable expenses. To assure the
presence in person or by proxy of the largest number of stockholders possible,
we have engaged Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. to solicit proxies on
our behalf. We are paying them a proxy solicitation fee of $7,500 and
reimbursing them for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

WHAT DO I NEED TO GET INTO THE ANNUAL MEETING?

- SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD

If you are a shareholder of record on March 19, 2001, you (or your duly
appointed proxy holder) are entitled to vote and attend the meeting. Certain
procedures have been adopted to ensure that no inconvenience or delays are
caused to the company's shareholders when entering the meeting.

If you are a record holder and do not have an admittance card with you at
the meeting, you will be admitted upon verification of ownership at the
shareholder's registration desk. The admission ticket is located on the lower
portion of your proxy or voting direction card.

- SHAREHOLDERS THROUGH INTERMEDIARIES

Persons who own stock through brokers, trustees, plans or in "street name"
and not directly through ownership of stock certificates are considered
beneficial owners. Beneficial owners of record on March 19, 2001 can obtain
admittance cards only at the shareholder's registration desk by presenting
evidence of common stock ownership. This evidence could be a proxy from the
institution that is the record holder of the stock or your most recent bank or
brokerage firm account statement that includes the record date, along with
proper identification.

Requests for proxies or voting direction from brokers, trustees or
fiduciaries should be processed as described in the accompanying materials.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Except where you withhold authority, your proxy will be voted at our 2001
Annual Meeting of Stockholders or any adjournments or postponements for the
election of the nominee(s) named below for a term of one year and until their
successors are duly elected and qualified. Incumbent directors will hold office
until the Annual Meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified,
subject to the director's earlier death, retirement or removal. Our Board of
Directors expects all nominees named below to be available for election.

defined in our charter.

If a nominee unexpectedly becomes unavailable before election, proxies from

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION; CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Mr. Goodwin and Capt. Dubinsky serve on the Compensation Committee, but not
the Compensation Administration Committee. Mr. Goodwin and Capt. Dubinsky are
employees of ours. Capt. Dubinsky is also the Chairman of the ALPA-MEC and an
officer of ALPA. ALPA and we are parties to a collective bargaining agreement
for our pilots represented by ALPA.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We do not pay directors who are employees of the company additional
compensation for their services as directors. In 2000, compensation for
non-employee directors included the following:

- annual retainer of $18,000

- $900 for each board and board committee meeting attended

- annual retainer of $2,700 to committee chairmen (other than chair of
Compensation Administration Committee)

- expenses of attending board and committee meetings

- 400 shares of common stock each year

- 189 deferred stock units representing common stock each year

Under our stock ownership guidelines, our directors are to keep the 400
shares while they are on the Board. They may also elect to receive some or all
of their cash retainers and fees in common stock, as well as defer their stock
and cash compensation for tax purposes. The deferred stock units are unfunded
and are not settled until after he or she leaves the Board.

We consider it important for our directors to understand our business and
have exposure to our operations and employees. For this reason, we provide free
transportation and free cargo shipment on United to our directors and their
spouse and eligible dependent children. We reimburse our directors for income
taxes resulting from actual use of the travel and shipment privileges. A
director who retires from the Board with at least five years of company
creditable service will receive free travel and cargo benefits for life, subject
to certain exceptions.

The cost of this policy in 2000 for each director, including cash payments
made in January 2001 for income tax liability, was as follows:

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
UAL CORPORATION COMPENSATION AND
COMPENSATION ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEES REPORT

WHAT IS THE COMPANY'S COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY FOR 2000?

The company's executive compensation program is designed to:

- attract, retain and motivate top quality and experienced executives

- provide industry competitive compensation opportunities and

- support a pay-for-performance culture.

WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE COMPENSATION PROGRAM?

A review of the company's executive compensation programs was undertaken in
order to ensure that the program was market-competitive. As a result of this
review, a number of changes were made to the senior management compensation
program for 2000. These changes included:

- The officer compensation program in total is primarily focused on
promoting pay-for-performance and emphasizing pay-at-risk, and oriented
toward stockholder interests through the use of long-term stock-based
incentives that create a direct linkage between officer rewards and
increased stockholder value.

- Targeting each element of total compensation (i.e., base salary, annual
bonus, stock options) at median levels paid by other major industrial
corporations comparable to the company in revenue size and scope of
operations. For those executive positions deemed to be unique to the
airline industry, the company targeted the median, adjusted for size, of
the other major airlines.

- Enhancing the annual incentive program to include financial, operational,
customer satisfaction and employee satisfaction goals.

- Maximizing the tax deductibility of compensation paid to our employees
covered by Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), with certain exceptions.

In addition, long term incentive arrangements for executives of United
NewVentures, Inc. have been established to closely align compensation with the
increased value of that business as discussed below.

WHAT WERE THE RESULT OF THESE CHANGES TO EXECUTIVES?

These changes resulted in increased base salaries, bonus opportunities (for
achieving target performance) and reduced stock option awards for most of the
executives. Nonetheless, the changes provide a competitive level of secure cash
compensation, while offering a significant level of performance-based cash and
stock incentive compensation. The overall objective of the program is to drive
improved performance that will lead to an increase in the return for all
stockholders.

In October 2000, Mr. Hacker, the company's Executive Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer, also became the President of our newly created, wholly
owned subsidiary,

United NewVentures, Inc. In connection with his dual responsibilities,
Mr. Hacker's stock option awards will be adjusted to reflect the compensation
arrangement with United NewVentures as described below.

HOW ARE BASE SALARIES DETERMINED?

With the introduction of the new executive compensation program, the
officers' base salaries were increased to make them competitive with general
industry and the airlines. These increases were the result of very minimal
changes in compensation since 1994 due to salary increase constraints
established as part of the ESOP and the reconfiguration of the new executive
compensation program.

HOW ARE BONUSES DETERMINED?

The new incentive program, which was approved by the shareholders in
May 2000, was created to support the company's strategic objectives and reward
individual performance. On an annual basis, the threshold, target and maximum
performance levels for financial, operational, customer satisfaction and
employee satisfaction goals are set. The incentive bonus payout is adjusted
based on the company's performance results for each of these goals. The
individual assessment for each executive officer is based upon, among other
things, an appraisal prepared annually on his or her overall performance in
relation to their assigned responsibilities. This assessment may be used to
adjust individual awards. The incentive program allows for the deferral, at the
participant's election, of all or a portion of his or her award in UAL common
stock or cash. A participant who elects a stock deferral is entitled to a
deferred stock credit valued at 120% of the dollar amount deferred. Deferred
stock units in excess of 100% of award value will be forfeited if the units are
withdrawn within five years of the award year.

The CEO recommends to the Compensation Committee (or the Compensation
Administration Committee for awards intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code) incentive awards for each executive officer. The
awards for the executive officers are then made by the Compensation Committee
(or the Compensation Administration Committee for awards intended to qualify
under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) based on a pre-established
formula.

In 2001 each of the executive officers received an incentive compensation
award for 2000 performance, which was granted under the performance plan terms
described above.

HOW ARE STOCK OPTIONS DETERMINED?

The stock compensation program is comprised entirely of annual stock
options. Option grants are determined in consideration of individual performance
and contribution and general industry and airline practice. The CEO recommends
stock option grants for each executive officer to the Compensation Committee (or
the Compensation Administration Committee, in the case of awards which qualify
for certain exemptions from Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act pursuant
to Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) qualified grants). The Committee determines
stock awards for the CEO based upon a comparable process and makes a final
determination on stock awards for the executive officers.

Stock options may not be granted at less than fair market value on the date
of grant. Stock options carry a 10-year term and typically vest ratably over a
four-year period. The

company's stock option plan includes provisions to preserve, to the maximum
extent possible, the deductibility by the company of amounts awarded under the
plan.

The company's executive officers received a stock option grant in 2000,
subject to the company's normal vesting schedule, in full compliance with
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. As part of the creation of United
NewVentures, a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) was adopted by United NewVentures
to reward all of its employees for its share of the incremental net increase in
value of the United NewVentures asset portfolio. As a result of Mr. Hacker's
duties as President of United NewVentures and in connection with his
compensation arrangement, the value of his future stock option grants in the
company will be reduced by 50%. Under the LTIP, Mr. Hacker will receive 1% of
United NewVentures' share of the net value created of United NewVentures' asset
portfolio. Any payout under the LTIP would occur at the end of its four-year
term or earlier in the event of a public offering relating to the United
NewVentures business or other liquidating event. Payments under the LTIP will
not qualify for Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code treatment.

DOES THE COMPANY USE RESTRICTED STOCK AS AN ELEMENT OF THE COMPENSATION PROGRAM?

The company has eliminated restricted stock as a component of its normal
compensation program. However, to enable the company to attract high quality
management at the most senior officer levels, sign-on compensation packages for
these officers at the time of hiring may include cash and restricted or other
stock awards in addition to compensation of the types described above. In
addition, restricted stock may be used for a limited number of United employees
in response to compelling business requirements, such as for recruitment,
retention or promotion of key management employees.

HOW HAS THE COMPANY RESPONDED TO IRS LIMITS ON DEDUCTIBILITY OF COMPENSATION?

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the tax deductibility of
compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers, unless
the payments are made under plans that satisfy the technical requirements of the
Code.

Stock options and annual bonuses are designed so that the compensation paid
will be tax deductible to the company. The Committee believes that
performance-based pay over $1 million is sometimes required to attract and
retain executives in a competitive marketplace. The company has not paid any
non-deductible compensation in excess of $1 million. The Committee reserves the
right to determine when and if it is in the company's best interest to forego
deductibility.

DOES THE COMPANY REQUIRE ITS EXECUTIVE OFFICERS TO HOLD STOCK IN THE COMPANY?

To encourage accumulation and retention of common stock by officers,
guidelines have been adopted providing for the minimum ownership of common stock
at the following multiples of annual salary:

- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, five times;

- President and Executive Vice Presidents, three times; and

- Senior Vice Presidents, two times.

Unexercised stock options, unvested restricted stock and ESOP stock
ownership are not recognized for purposes of these guidelines.

WHAT WAS THE BASIS FOR MR. GOODWIN'S 2000 COMPENSATION?

BASE SALARY. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Goodwin received an
increase in annual base salary to $900,000 on April 13, 2000. This increase was
awarded to reflect general industry and airline compensation for CEOs in
companies with comparable revenue, and his individual performance.

ANNUAL BONUS. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Goodwin is eligible to
receive an annual bonus, as CEO, as determined by the Compensation
Administration Committee under the company's performance incentive compensation
plan. His target bonus can be no less than 100% of the maximum percentage
permitted under the incentive plan with an additional 20% over target bonus for
superior performance that may be paid outside of the plan. Mr. Goodwin received
an incentive award in 2001 for 2000 performance, which was awarded under the
performance incentive plan terms according to the formula described above.
Mr. Goodwin's incentive award was based on two components: company performance
and individual performance consistent with the performance incentive plan
approved by shareholders in May 2000.

The company's earnings for 2000 were such that allowed for an award under
the plan subject to individual performance. In addition, the company met certain
of its employee goals and its minimum financial goal under the performance plan,
while not achieving the threshold for its operational and customer satisfaction
goals.

STOCK OPTIONS. Mr. Goodwin was granted a stock option grant in 2000 for
180,000 shares of the company's common stock that will vest at 25% over the next
four years. The value of the grant was determined to bring Mr. Goodwin's total
compensation opportunity to that which is competitive to a CEO in a similar
sized company.

DO THE COMMITTEES SEEK OUTSIDE, INDEPENDENT ADVICE ON COMPENSATION MATTERS?

The Compensation Committee and Compensation Administration Committee consult
with independent compensation advisors on executive compensation matters. The
Committees also have access to competitive data on compensation levels for
officer positions.

- - --------------------------

(1) Ms. Maher elected to receive a portion of her 2000 incentive award in
deferred stock units under our incentive program. As a result of this
election, she was credited with a restricted stock unit award in 2001. These
units are subject to forfeiture if withdrawn prior to January 1, 2006.

(2) For Mr. Goodwin, amount includes $23,000 in 2000 for financial advisory
services.

(3) The number and value of restricted stock holdings at December 31, 2000 is:
Mr. Goodwin, 40,000 units, $1,557,600; each of Messrs. Dutta, Hacker and
Studdert, 25,000 shares, $973,500. Mr. Goodwin's grant vests in five equal
annual installments, the first of which began July 13, 2000; the others vest
100% five years from the date of grant. Dividends are paid on these
restricted shares to the extent paid on our common stock.

(4) Amounts include value of shares of ESOP preferred stock allocated to the
officer's account for 2000, 1999 and 1998 (as applicable) as follows, based
upon the applicable year-end closing price of common stock multiplied by the
number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of ESOP preferred
stock: Mr. Goodwin, $46,650, $138,527, $66,253; Mr. Dutta, $24,922, $86,948;
Mr. Hacker, $22,313, $94,549, $71,625; Mr. Studdert, $18,730, $75,468,
$52,764; and Ms. Maher, $14,057, $63,213. Balance represents compensation
for split dollar insurance program premiums.

OPTION GRANTS IN 2000

This table gives information about stock options we granted during 2000 to
the officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. The hypothetical present
values of stock options granted in 2000 are calculated under a modified
Black-Scholes model, a mathematical formula used to value options. The actual
amount realized upon exercise of stock options will depend upon the amount by
which the market price of common stock on the date of exercise is greater than
the exercise price. The officers will not be able to realize a gain from the
stock options granted unless, during the exercise period, the market price of
common stock is above the exercise price of the options.

Francesca M. Maher 26,000 1.8 53.25 2/22/10 462,800

- - ------------------------

(1) All options become exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing
February 23, 2001, one year from the date of grant. The options are
transferable, at the officer's election, to certain family members.

(2) To realize hypothetical present values upon the exercise of the options, the
market price would have increased to $71.05 for the February 23, 2000
grants. The modified Black-Scholes model used to calculate the hypothetical
values at date of grant considers a number of factors to estimate the
option's present value, including the stock's historic volatility calculated
using the monthly closing price of common stock over a 67 month period
ending February 2000, the estimated average holding period of the option,
interest rates and the stock's expected dividend yield. The assumptions used
in the valuation of the options were: stock price volatility -- .35, holding
period -- 4 years, interest rate -- 6.4%, and dividend yield -- 2.4%.

THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT THE HYPOTHETICAL PRESENT VALUES OF STOCK OPTIONS
PRESENTED IN THE TABLE ABOVE REPRESENT THE ACTUAL VALUES OF THE OPTIONS, AND THE
HYPOTHETICAL VALUES SHOWN SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED AS OUR PREDICTIONS OF THE FUTURE
VALUE OF COMMON STOCK.

This table is based on retirement at age 65 and selection of a straight life
annuity (other annuity options are available, which would reduce the amounts
shown). The amount of the normal retirement benefit under the plan is the
product of 1.6% times years of credited participation in the plan times final
average pay (highest five of last 10 years of covered compensation). The
retirement benefit amount is not offset by the participant's social security
benefit. Compensation used in calculating benefits under the plan includes base
salary and amounts shown as bonus in the Summary Compensation Table. Under the
qualified plan, years of participation for persons named in the compensation
table are as follows: Mr. Goodwin -- 33 years; Mr. Dutta -- 15 years;
Mr. Hacker -- 7 years; Mr. Studdert -- 5 years; and Ms. Maher -- 7 years. The
amounts shown do not reflect limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code on
retirement benefits that may be paid under plans qualified under the code.
United has agreed to provide under non-qualified

plans the portion of the retirement benefits earned under the pension plan that
would otherwise be subject to code limitations.

We agreed to supplement Mr. Hacker's benefit by granting him credit for one
additional year of service.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND ARRANGEMENTS

We entered into a five-year employment agreement with Mr. Goodwin effective
July 13, 1999. This agreement provides for an annual base salary of $725,000
subject to increases as part of the normal salary program for our senior
executives. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Goodwin is eligible to receive
an annual bonus under the company's annual incentive plan. Mr. Goodwin's target
percentage can be no less than the maximum percentage permitted under the
incentive plan (called the target bonus). He is entitled to an additional 20%
over this target bonus amount under the plan for superior performance -- this
extraordinary bonus may be paid outside the plan.

Under the employment agreement, if the incentive plan is amended or replaced
with a new plan, Mr. Goodwin's incentive award will be determined under the
terms of the new plan; provided that his target percentage and maximum
percentage will be no less than 100% of his base salary.

If Mr. Goodwin's employment is terminated by us without "cause," or by him
for "good reason," we will pay him his base salary, any annual bonus and any
earned and vested benefits he may be due through the termination date. We will
also pay Mr. Goodwin a lump sum payment equal to his base salary and target
bonus multiplied by the greater of (1) the remaining term of his agreement or
(2) three years. Mr. Goodwin's participation in United's benefit plans will also
continue for this period. All long-term incentive awards will immediately vest
on the termination date and any unvested stock options will continue to vest in
accordance with their terms. With respect to the retirement plan, he will be
credited with additional years of participation, if necessary, so that his years
of participation equal 40 and any benefit payments will not be subject to any
actuarial reduction for early payment.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Our Board, at the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has appointed,
subject to your approval, the firm of Arthur Andersen LLP as independent public
accountants, to examine our financial statements for 2001. It is anticipated
that a representative of Arthur Andersen LLP will be present at the meeting and
will have the opportunity to make a statement, if he or she desires to do so,
and will be available to respond to appropriate questions at that time. If you
do not approve the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP, our Board will reconsider
the selection of independent public accountants.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE APPOINTMENT
OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR 2001.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT FEES

The aggregate fees billed for professional services (including out-of-pocket
expenses) rendered by Arthur Andersen in 2000 are as follows:

SERVICE FEE
- - ------- ---------

Audit Fees...................................................................... $ 715,000
Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees.................... $ 219,053
All Other Fees.................................................................. $2,259,119

Our Audit Committee has considered whether the 2000 non-audit services
provided by Arthur Andersen are compatible with maintaining auditor
independence.

PROPOSALS 3 AND 4

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

PROPOSAL NO. 3 CONCERNING COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Mr. William S. Patterson, P. O. Box 15021, Wilmington, North Carolina,
28408-5021, a United Airlines pilot and owner of 3,948 common shares, has given
notice that he will introduce the following resolution at the annual meeting:

"PROPOSAL: BOARD OF DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

We all place the oversight and leadership of our corporation in the hands of
the Board of Directors.

Resolved: It is recommended that the Board of Directors be compensated well
and only with common corporate stock of this corporation and with an incentive
award tied to the stock value and successful growth of our company."

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPOSES THE ABOVE PROPOSAL.

The Board of Directors opposes this proposal and does not believe it is in
the best interests of the stockholders. UAL's existing compensation package is
designed to be competitive in order to attract and retain directors with the
expertise needed by UAL. As UAL continues its quest to become the worldwide
airline of choice, it is essential that it provide appropriate compensation
packages to attract and retain talented people at every level -- including
service at the board level.

Members of the Board of Directors are compensated by a combination of cash
and deferred compensation in the form of shares of common stock. At current
market value, approximately 40% of compensation to directors is in the form of
shares of common stock. In fact, our non-management directors' interests are
aligned with those of the company in that each owns, on average, 9,000 shares of
common stock. Furthermore, this proposal runs counter to our corporate
governance, which contemplates a diverse candidate group for board selection, by
limiting the pool of those individuals willing to serve on the board.

In addition, directors may elect, and some have elected, to forego current
cash compensation in favor of deferred equity compensation. Your board of
directors, however, believes that this election should be voluntary and not
imposed on all directors.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE AGAINST THIS
PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL NO. 4 CONCERNING CERTAIN BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Mr. Bob Hrabe, P. O. Box 359, San Miguel, California, 93451, a United
Airlines pilot and owner of 2,986 common shares, has given notice that he will
introduce the following resolution at the annual meeting:

"PROPOSAL: Submit a request to the UAL Board of Directors to take the steps
necessary to amend the UAL Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide that
airline acquisitions, which have been approved by a Board of Directors vote,
also be approved by a stockholder vote. It is noted that if this amendment is
implemented, it would not affect the current USAirways acquisition proposal,
which was approved by the Board of Directors in May, 2000. This amendment would
only affect future airline acquisition proposals. It is requested that the UAL
Board of Directors consider approving the amendment in accordance with the most
expedient method available.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT: Presently, the UAL Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides for either a Board of Directors vote or a stockholder
vote to approve airline acquisitions. In concurrence, while the Delaware
Corporation Laws (Delaware is the state where UAL is incorporated) generally
provide for a stockholder vote on acquisitions and mergers, a stockholder vote
is not necessary for transactions which meet certain requirements, like an all
cash buyout where no shares are issued as a result of the transaction. Last
year, the UAL annual stockholder meeting convened on May 18, 2000. The USAirways
acquisition proposal was not on the agenda because the secret negotiations were
at a standstill. After the stockholder meeting concluded, the negotiations
resumed and a purchase price for the all cash buyout of USAirways was agreed
upon. On May 23, 2000, the acquisition proposal was submitted to the UAL Board
of Directors and approved. This

acquisition proposal has not been put forth for a UAL stockholder vote since the
requirement to do so is not specifically required by either the UAL Restated
Certificate of Incorporation or the Delaware corporate laws."

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPOSES THE ABOVE PROPOSAL.

The Board of Directors is opposed to this proposal because it is contrary to
the best interests of UAL and its stockholders, and, in particular, because it
would limit UAL's ability to pursue strategic objectives in important respects
when UAL's competitors are not so limited.

The airline industry has been in great flux over the last decade and in
particular over the last year. It is very important that UAL have the same
flexibility as its competitors in pursuing its business objectives, particularly
in these turbulent times. The laws of Delaware (where UAL is incorporated) and
other states are very explicit about when acquisitions and mergers do and do not
require stockholder approval. Most acquisitions for cash, whether by UAL or any
of our competitors, do not require stockholder approval. Changing this state of
affairs for UAL but not for anyone else would limit UAL's flexibility to deal
with fast changing industry conditions and would put UAL in a competitively
disadvantageous position. The proposal should be rejected because it is contrary
to the best interests of our company and its stockholders.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE AGAINST THIS
PROPOSAL.

SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

US AIRWAYS ACQUISITION

On May 24, 2000, UAL announced that it had entered into a definitive merger
agreement with US Airways Group, Inc. ("US Airways") pursuant to which US
Airways will be acquired by the Company in an all-cash transaction for
$4.3 billion. Additionally, UAL will assume approximately $1.7 billion in US
Airways net debt and $6.3 billion in operating leases. On October 12, 2000, the
stockholders of US Airways approved the merger. The transaction, which the
Company anticipates closing in the second quarter of 2001, is still subject to
regulatory clearance and other customary closing conditions. Definitive
financing arrangements have not yet been determined although UAL expects to
incur approximately $4.5 billion in additional indebtedness, through a
combination of bank and public financing, to cover the cost of the acquisition
as well as additional costs related to the integration of the airlines.

Subject to regulatory approval of the transaction and the successful outcome
of negotiations with local authorities, the Company announced its intentions to
expand US Airways' maintenance facility in Pittsburgh at a total projected cost
of $160 million. Additionally, the Company recognizes that it will incur
significant costs associated with the integration of US Airways in order to
achieve the anticipated benefits to both the Company and the millions of
passengers and hundreds of communities served by United throughout the United
States. The Company expects that the new network will make traveling more
convenient for passengers, connecting US Airways' eastern U.S. markets with
United's east-west and international markets, thereby creating the nation's most
comprehensive airline network. However, the Company recognizes that it may
encounter difficulties in achieving these significant benefits. As part of the
agreement with US Airways, UAL generally has agreed to pay US Airways a
$50 million termination fee in the event the merger does not take place.

In addition, UAL and US Airways entered into a binding memorandum of
understanding with Robert Johnson, a member of the US Airways Group Board of
Directors, under which Mr. Johnson would buy certain of US Airways' assets and
create a new airline, to be called DC Air, which would compete on numerous
routes currently served by US Airways in the Washington D.C. area.

In a transaction designed to enhance the competitive benefits of the
proposed merger with US Airways and address regulatory concerns, UAL and AMR
Corporation ("AMR") on

B-3

January 9, 2001 announced the approval of a binding memorandum of understanding,
under which AMR's American Airlines subsidiary ("American") will provide
competitive service on key hub-to-hub routes where United and US Airways
currently are the only competitors with non-stop flights. As part of the
agreement, American will also enter into a 20-year joint venture with United to
jointly provide service on routes currently served by the US Airways Shuttle
between New York's LaGuardia Airport, Washington, D.C.'s Reagan National Airport
and Boston's Logan Airport. In addition, United will transfer a number of gates,
slots and up to 86 aircraft acquired in its merger with US Airways to American
deemed to be surplus to the combined United and US Airways entity.

AMR will pay UAL approximately $1.2 billion in cash for this transaction. In
addition, American will assume certain lease obligations and buy certain spare
engines and other parts associated with the aircraft being transferred. The
transaction will provide financial benefits to UAL by reducing the debt
requirements related to the acquisition of US Airways.

On March 2, 2001, UAL announced that it had reached agreement with Atlantic
Coast Airlines Holdings, Inc. ("ACAI"), for US Airways to sell its three wholly
owned regional airlines to ACAI for an initial purchase price of $200 million.
UAL and ACAI will seek to agree upon the ultimate purchase price over an
18-month period. If an ultimate purchase price is not agreed as to a carrier,
then the transaction as to that carrier is subject to being unwound. If ACAI is
not the ultimate purchaser of at least one of the carriers, they will receive a
fee of up to $10 million. The transaction, which is contingent upon and will
occur at the same time as closing of the proposed acquisition of US Airways, is
subject to regulatory approvals and to certain termination rights by UAL. In
addition, at closing, the three carriers (Allegheny Airlines, Piedmont Airlines
and PSA Airlines) are expected to execute agreements to provide feeder service
to the combined United and US Airways network.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During 2000, the Company experienced significant operational disruptions, as
a result of labor-related delays and cancellations, as well as weather and air
traffic control limitations, which adversely affected both revenue and expense
performance. The Company attempted to mitigate the impact of these operational
difficulties by reducing capacity, particularly in the domestic markets, where
most of the problems were concentrated. The Company estimates the revenue
shortfall arising from these disruptions and associated schedule reductions and
cancellations to be somewhere between $700 and $750 million for the year.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS --

UAL's earnings from operations were $654 million in 2000, compared to
operating earnings of $1.4 billion in 1999. UAL's net earnings in 2000 were
$50 million ($0.04 per share, diluted), compared to net earnings of
$1.2 billion in 1999 ($9.94 per share, diluted).

The 2000 earnings include an extraordinary loss of $6 million, after tax, on
early extinguishment of debt and the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle of $209 million, net of tax. The 2000 earnings also include an
impairment loss of $38 million, net of tax, ($0.33 per share, diluted) related
to the Company's equity investment in Priceline.com, as well as a gain of
$69 million, net of tax, ($0.60 per share, diluted) on the

B-4

sale of its investment in GetThere.com (see Note 6 "Investments" in the NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS).

The 1999 earnings include an extraordinary loss of $3 million, after tax, on
early extinguishment of debt and an after-tax gain of $468 million ($4.19 per
share, diluted), on the sale of certain of the Company's investments, as further
described in Note 6 "Investments" in the NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS.

2000 COMPARED WITH 1999 --

OPERATING REVENUES. Operating revenues increased $1.3 billion (7%) and
United's revenue per available seat mile (unit revenue) increased 8% to 11.02
cents. Passenger revenues increased $1.1 billion (7%) primarily due to a 6%
increase in yield to 13.25 cents. United's revenue passenger miles increased 1%,
while available seat miles decreased 1%, resulting in a passenger load factor
increase of 1.3 points to 72.3%. The decrease in available seat miles reflects
the Company's response to the operational difficulties as well as the impact of
Economy Plus. The following analysis by market is based on information reported
to the DOT:

INCREASE (DECREASE)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
AVAILABLE SEAT REVENUE PASSENGER MILES REVENUE PER REVENUE
MILES (CAPACITY) (TRAFFIC) PASSENGER MILE (YIELD)
---------------- ----------------------- ----------------------

North America........... (4%) (3%) 7%
Pacific................. 10% 11% 7%
Atlantic................ 6% 6% 8%
Latin America........... (10%) (1%) 4%
System................ (1%) 1% 6%

Cargo revenues increased $25 million (3%) on increased freight ton miles of
3%, as freight yields remained constant and mail yields increased 1%. Other
operating revenues increased $152 million (19%) primarily due to increased fuel
sales to third parties and additional revenues from operating agreements with
Galileo International, Inc. ("Galileo"), offset by the decrease in other
revenues related to the change in accounting for Mileage Plus sale of miles to
third parties (see Note 1i "Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies -- Mileage Plus Awards" in the NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS).

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses increased $2.1 billion (12%) and
United's cost per available seat mile increased 13% from 9.41 to 10.63 cents.
Salaries and related costs increased $1.1 billion (19%) due to a new salary
program implemented for non-contract employees, the impact of the new ALPA
contract, and the estimated costs of IAM contracts which became amendable in
July 2000 and are currently under negotiation. ESOP compensation expense
decreased $609 million (81%) as the Company discontinued recording ESOP
compensation expense once the final ESOP shares were committed to be released in
April 2000. Aircraft fuel increased $735 million (41%) due to a 40% increase in
the cost of fuel to 81.0 cents per gallon. Commissions decreased $114 million
(10%) due to a change in the commission structure implemented in the fourth
quarter of 1999. Purchased services increased $136 million (9%) due to increases
in computer reservations fees and credit card discount fees. Depreciation and
amortization increased $138 million (16%) due to an increase in the number of
owned aircraft and losses on disposition of aircraft and other

B-5

equipment. Cost of sales increased $436 million (72%) primarily due to costs
associated with fuel sales to third parties.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. Other income (expense) amounted to $223 million
in expense in 2000 compared to $551 million in income in 1999. Interest expense
increased $40 million (11%) due to increased debt issuances in 2000. Interest
income increased $33 million (49%) due to higher investment balances. In
addition, 2000 included a $109 million gain on the sale of GetThere.com stock
and a $61 million investment impairment related to warrants held in
Priceline.com, while 1999 included a $669 million gain on the sale of Galileo
stock and a $62 million gain on the sale of Equant N.V. ("Equant") stock.

1999 COMPARED WITH 1998 --

OPERATING REVENUES. Operating revenues increased $466 million (3%) and
United's revenue per available seat mile (unit revenue) increased 1% to 10.17
cents. Passenger revenues increased $264 million (2%) due to a 1% increase in
United's revenue passenger miles and a 1% increase in yield to 12.48 cents.
Available seat miles across the system were up 2% year over year; however,
passenger load factor decreased 0.6 points to 71.0% as traffic only increased 1%
system-wide. The following analysis by market is based on information reported
to the DOT:

North America........... 4% 2% 1%
Pacific................. (12%) (11%) 3%
Atlantic................ 14% 14% (7%)
Latin America........... (7%) (3%) (3%)
System................ 2% 1% 1%

Cargo revenues decreased $7 million (1%) despite increased freight ton miles
of 5%, as a 4% decline in freight yield combined with a 3% decline in mail
yield. Other operating revenues increased $209 million (19%) due to increases in
frequent flyer program partner related revenues and fuel sales to third parties.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses increased $553 million (3%) and
United's cost per available seat mile increased 2% from 9.24 to 9.41 cents. ESOP
compensation expense decreased $73 million (9%), reflecting the decrease in the
estimated average fair value of ESOP stock committed to be released to employees
as a result of UAL's lower common stock price. Salaries and related costs
increased $329 million (6%) as a result of increased staffing in
customer-contact positions, as well as salary increases for most labor groups
which took effect July 1, 1998. Commissions decreased $186 million (14%) due to
a change in the commission structure implemented in the third quarter 1998 as
well as a slight decrease in commissionable revenues. In addition, in
October 1999, the Company reduced the base commissions for tickets purchased in
the U.S. and Canada to 5%, subject to roundtrip caps of $50 domestic and $100
international. Purchased services increased $70 million (5%) due to increases in
computer reservations fees and year 2000-related expenses. Depreciation and
amortization increased $74 million (9%) due to an increase in the number of
owned aircraft and losses on disposition of aircraft partially offset by changes
in depreciable lives of certain aircraft. In addition, United wrote-down two
non-operating B747-200 aircraft to net

B-6

realizable value. Cost of sales increased $128 million (27%) primarily due to
costs associated with fuel sales to third parties. Aircraft maintenance
increased $65 million (10%) due to an increase in heavy maintenance visits.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. Other income (expense) amounted to $551 million
in income in 1999 compared to $222 million in expense in 1998. Interest
capitalized, primarily on aircraft advance payments, decreased $30 million
(29%). Interest income increased $9 million (15%) due to higher investment
balances. In addition, 1999 included a $669 million gain on the sale of Galileo
stock and a $62 million gain on the sale of Equant stock.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY --

UAL's total of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments was
$2.3 billion at December 31, 2000, compared to $689 million at December 31,
1999. Operating activities during the year generated $2.5 billion.

Property additions, including aircraft, aircraft spare parts, facilities and
ground equipment, amounted to $2.5 billion, while property dispositions resulted
in proceeds of $324 million. In 2000, United took delivery of four A319, twelve
A320, one B747, three B767 and eight B777 aircraft. Twenty-six of these aircraft
were purchased and two were acquired under capital leases. Five of the aircraft
purchased during the year were later sold and then leased back under capital
leases. In addition, United retired three DC10-10, four DC10-30F and seven B747
aircraft.

During 2000, the Company made payments of $81 million for the repurchase of
1.3 million shares of common stock. Financing activities included the issuance
of $2.4 billion in equipment trust certificates, as well as principal payments
under debt and capital lease obligations of $441 million and $283 million,
respectively. Included in the debt payments was the retirement of $116 million
of long-term debt prior to maturity. Additionally, UAL issued, and subsequently
retired, $200 million in long-term debt during the period to finance the
acquisition of aircraft. UAL may also from time to time repurchase on the open
market, in privately negotiated purchases or otherwise, its debt and equity
securities.

Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2000 were $39 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, 2000, UAL had a working capital deficit of $2.0 billion
as compared to $2.5 billion at December 31, 1999. 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.

PRIOR YEARS. Operating activities in 1999 generated cash flows of
$2.4 billion and the Company's sale of part of its investments in Galileo and
Equant provided $828 million in cash. Cash was used primarily to fund net
additions to property and equipment ($2.2 billion) and to repurchase common
stock ($261 million). Financing activities also included principal payments
under debt and capital lease obligations of $513 million and $248 million,
respectively.

B-7

Operating activities in 1998 generated cash flows of $3.2 billion. Cash was
used primarily to fund net additions to property and equipment ($2.4 billion)
and to repurchase common stock ($459 million). Financing activities also
included repayments of long-term debt totaling $271 million and payments under
capital leases of $322 million, as well as aircraft lease deposits of
$154 million. 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.

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS --

At December 31, 2000, commitments for the purchase of property and
equipment, principally aircraft, approximated $4.7 billion, after deducting
advance payments. Of this amount, an estimated $2.5 billion is due to be spent
in 2001. 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. Additionally, during 2001, UAL anticipates requiring
additional financing for its planned acquisition of US Airways.

At December 31, 2000, UAL and United had an effective shelf registration
statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission to offer up to
$2.5 billion of securities, including secured and unsecured debt, equipment
trust and pass through certificates or a combination thereof. United also has
available approximately $1.7 billion in short-term revolving credit facilities,
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.

At December 31, 2000, 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 B+ by S&P and Ba3 by Moody's. Immediately following UAL's
announcement of the planned acquisition of US Airways, S&P placed UAL and United
securities on CreditWatch with negative implications.

OTHER INFORMATION

LABOR AGREEMENTS --

On April 12, 2000, the Company's contract with ALPA became amendable and in
October 2000, the parties signed a new contract. The agreement, which will
become amendable September 1, 2004, includes provisions for an immediate
increase in wages of 21.5% to 28.7%, retroactive to April 12, as well as
additional annual increases of 4.5% to 5.6% for the duration of the contract.
Additionally, the contract allows United Express carriers to increase the number
of small jets beyond the current 65-jet limit up to an additional 150
immediately as replacements for existing turboprops, with additional increases
in small jets as United's fleet grows. United may also share in profits and
losses of revenues with foreign carriers with whom United has antitrust
immunity, provided United gets its

B-8

proportionate share of the flying. In addition, the Company has reached
agreement with ALPA to provide United pilots with protections that are
realistically representative of their pre-merger expectations.

On July 12, 2000, the Company's contracts with the IAM became amendable. The
Company has been in negotiations with the IAM since January 2000 for new
contracts. Since September 2000, the negotiations have been conducted with the
assistance of the National Mediation Board. Under the terms of the Railway Labor
Act, United's current agreements with the IAM will remain in effect while
negotiations continue. The Company has agreed that wage increases under the new
IAM contracts will be retroactive to July 12, 2000 and the estimated costs of
those contracts have been included in the Company's results for 2000. The
Company and the IAM had also initialed an agreement on December 12, 2000 that
would have provided for job protection benefits to most mechanics, including
relocation protection in the case of displacement due to the merger transaction.
The IAM has recently notified the Company that they consider that agreement to
be rescinded. Talks are ongoing and United hopes to reach agreement with the IAM
on these issues.

The Company's contract with the AFA, which becomes amendable in 2006,
provides for a mid-term wage conference in the first quarter of 2001. However,
in September 2000, United and the AFA began wage discussions unrelated to the
contract that would have avoided the need for this wage conference. The parties
also began addressing integration issues related to United's acquisition of US
Airways at this time. The Company and the AFA have not reached agreement on
these issues to date and the Company began wage conference negotiations per the
contract in February 2001. The Company is continuing to seek to resolve all
outstanding issues with the AFA, although arbitration may be required per the
collective bargaining agreement, if an agreement cannot be reached on wages. It
is the Company's desire through these discussions to avoid any AFA operational
action that would significantly inconvenience its customers or disrupt
schedules. However, should such action occur, the Company will take appropriate
steps to minimize the impact to the Company and its customers.

E-COMMERCE --

In October 2000, UAL announced the formation of United NewVentures, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary which will create businesses to provide innovative
solutions for its customers, strengthen United's airline business and create
incremental value for UAL's stockholders. The subsidiary employs about 100
people, primarily from the Company's former e-commerce organization and consists
of two divisions, United NetWorks and United NetVentures.

United NetWorks focuses on expanding United-branded e-commerce and wireless
activities, including the recently redesigned united.com web site, as well as
assuming responsibility for marketing the sale of Mileage Plus miles to third
parties. Gross air bookings on united.com in 2000 grew more than 101% over last
year. Total passenger revenue from sales over the Internet reached $755 million
for the year compared to $400 million for 1999, an 89% increase.

United NetVentures will manage United's investments in other Internet
ventures, including two new multi-airline travel-oriented web sites, Orbitz and
Hotwire, and identify new business opportunities in e-commerce.

B-9

FOREIGN OPERATIONS --

United generates revenues and incurs expenses in numerous foreign
currencies. These expenses include aircraft leases, commissions, catering,
personnel expense, advertising and distribution costs, 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.

With a worldwide network and significant sales and marketing efforts in the
U.S. as well as every major economic region in the world, United is able 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, British pounds and the euro. During 2000,
yen-denominated operating revenue net of yen-denominated operating expense was
approximately 21 billion yen (approximately $195 million), Hong Kong dollar-
denominated operating revenue net of Hong Kong dollar-denominated operating
expense was approximately 1,397 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately
$179 million), British pound-denominated operating revenue net of British
pound-denominated operating expense was approximately 97 million British pounds
(approximately $142 million), Australian dollar-denominated operating revenue
net of Australian dollar-denominated operating expense was approximately
154 million Australian dollars (approximately $90 million), and euro-denominated
operating revenue net of euro-denominated operating expense was approximately
34 million euro (approximately $33 million).

To reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on United's financial
results, the Company hedged some of the risk of exchange rate volatility on its
anticipated future foreign currency revenues by purchasing put options
(consisting of Japanese yen, euro, Australian dollars and British pounds) and
selling Hong Kong dollar forwards. To reduce hedging costs, the Company sells a
correlation option in the first four currencies referred to above. United also
attempts to reduce its exposure to transaction gains and losses by converting
excess local currencies generated to U.S. dollars on a timely basis 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, 2000, are summarized in ITEM
7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

United's foreign operations involve insignificant amounts of physical
assets; however, the Company does have sizable intangible assets related to
acquisitions of Atlantic and Latin America 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. In addition, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has
issued an Exposure Draft, "Business Combinations and Intangible
Assets -- Accounting for Goodwill," which could impact the

B-10

Company's accounting for these assets. For further details, see "New Accounting
Pronouncements" below.

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 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 either the likelihood or the magnitude
of any such increase.

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.*

COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS --

During 2000, UAL instituted an annual dividend of $1.25 per share on UAL
common stock. Accordingly, UAL paid $36 million ($0.3125 per share) in common
dividends in each of the second, third and fourth quarters of 2000. In addition,
on December 14, UAL's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.3125 per
share payable on February 1, 2001 to stockholders of record January 16, 2001.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS --

In June 1998, the FASB 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

B-11

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.

The effective date of SFAS No. 133 was delayed one year, to fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 133, which
was subsequently amended by SFAS No. 138, in the first quarter of 2001. United
has reviewed its various contracts to determine which contracts meet the
requirements of SFAS No. 133, as amended, and need to be reflected as
derivatives under the standard and accounted for at fair value. Accordingly, the
Company will recognize a charge for the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle of $8 million, net of tax, in the first quarter 2001. In
addition, the Company believes the adoption of SFAS 133 will increase volatility
in earnings and other comprehensive income.

On February 14, 2001, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft "Business
Combinations and Intangible Assets -- Accounting for Goodwill." The Exposure
Draft requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased
goodwill and for separately recognized (non-goodwill) intangible assets that
have an indefinite useful economic life. Under this approach, goodwill and
certain intangibles would not be amortized, but would be written down and
expensed against earnings only in periods in which the recorded value is more
than the fair value. The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting
the new Exposure Draft, but it could result in significant changes to the
classification and recording of intangibles and amortization expense currently
on the books, as well as the accounting for the planned acquisition of US
Airways.

OUTLOOK FOR 2001* --

The softening of the U.S. economy has had an industry-wide effect on
business travel; as a result, the Company has experienced a decrease in
high-yield near-term bookings. In addition, passenger revenue performance is
expected to be negatively impacted by the reduced capacity level put in place to
improve operational reliability. Given these weaker-than-anticipated revenues,
combined with higher labor costs and fuel prices, the Company expects
first-quarter results to be substantially below the current First Call consensus
of $2.82 loss per share.

The Company had previously provided full-year guidance, including the
possible effects of its planned acquisition of US Airways, based on business
plans prepared before the onset of the revenue deterioration. With the weakening
of the U.S. economic situation, the Company has taken steps to reduce planned
2001 spending by $200 million. However, based on expectations that revenue
weakness will continue, the Company now expects performance to be below plan
levels for the full year.

The uncertainty surrounding key factors affecting the Company's financial
performance, such as the breadth and length of the U.S. economic slowdown, the
outcome of the planned United and US Airways merger and the outcome of labor
negotiations and the cost of fuel, among other factors, precludes the Company
from providing any specific estimates on results at this time.

United and US Airways merger; successfully integrating the businesses of United
and US Airways; costs related to the United and US Airways merger; achieving
cost-cutting synergies resulting from the United and US Airways merger; labor
integration issues; the success of the Company's cost-control efforts; the cost
of crude oil and jet fuel; the ultimate outcome of existing litigation; the
results of union contract negotiations and their impact on labor costs;
operational disruptions as a result of bad weather, air traffic control-related
difficulties and labor issues; the growth of e-commerce and off-tariff
distribution channels; the effective deployment of customer service tools and
resources; actions of the U.S., foreign and local governments; foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations; the economic environment of the airline industry and
the economic environment in general.

Investors should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking information

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. To hedge against some of this risk, the
Company has placed foreign currency deposits (primarily for Japanese yen, French
francs, German marks and euros) to meet foreign currency lease obligations
designated in the respective currencies. 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 Company reduces its overall exposure to
foreign currency exchange rate volatility. 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 options (purchasing put options and selling
correlation options) to hedge exposure to the Japanese yen, Hong Kong dollar,
British pound, Australian dollar and the euro. 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

B-14

stable and predictable. United does not use currency forwards or currency
options for trading purposes.

value of $7 million.

PRICE RISK (AIRCRAFT FUEL) -- When market conditions indicate risk reduction
is achievable, United enters into fuel option contracts to reduce its price risk
exposure to jet fuel. The option contracts are designed to provide protection
against sharp increases in the price of aircraft fuel. Based on current market
conditions, United does not believe risk reduction is achievable and is no
longer entering into new option contracts. As market conditions change, so may
United's hedging program. In addition, to a limited extent, United trades
short-term heating oil futures and option contracts, which are immaterial.

At December 31, 1999, United had $1.1 billion in purchased call option
contracts for crude oil with an estimated fair value of $120 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and
Board of Directors, UAL Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying statements of consolidated financial
position of UAL Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiary companies as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of consolidated
operations, consolidated cash flows and consolidated stockholders' equity for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial
statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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 management, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UAL
Corporation and subsidiary companies as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

As explained in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,
effective January 1, 2000, the Company changed certain of its accounting
principles for revenue recognition as a result of the adoption of Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule referenced in Item 14(a)2
herein is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

See accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

B-21

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. 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 does
not remove the securities from the balance sheet. At December 31, 2000, United
was obligated to repurchase $39 million of securities lent to third parties.

At December 31, 2000 and 1999, $598 million and $406 million, respectively,
of investments in debt securities included in cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments were classified as available-for-sale, and $1.7 billion
and $177 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

B-22

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 Japanese yen-, euro- 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 Japanese yen, euro, Australian dollar and British pound
revenues by purchasing put options with little or no intrinsic value and on Hong
Kong dollar revenues by entering into forward contracts. 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 a correlation option in the first four currencies referred to
above. The unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on the correlation options
are included in "Miscellaneous, net," net of premiums received.

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 -- Under favorable market conditions, United uses purchased
call options to hedge a portion of its price risk related to aircraft fuel
purchases. The purchased call options have been designated as a hedge. Gains or
losses on hedge positions, net of premiums paid, 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

B-23

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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 4 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, "Retirement and Postretirement
Plans"). Route acquisition costs are amortized over 40 years. During 2001, the
FASB issued an Exposure Draft "Business Combinations and Intangible
Assets -- Accounting for Goodwill" which could impact the Company's accounting
for intangible assets. See OTHER INFORMATION, "New Accounting Pronouncements" in
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.

(i) MILEAGE PLUS AWARDS -- United accrues the estimated incremental cost of
providing free travel awards earned under its Mileage Plus frequent flyer
program 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.

Effective January 1, 2000, the Company changed its method of accounting for
the sale of mileage to participating partners in its Mileage Plus program, in
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements." Under the new accounting method, a portion of revenue
from the sale of mileage (previously recognized in other revenue) is deferred
and recognized as passenger revenue when the transportation is provided.
Accordingly, UAL has recorded a charge of $209 million, net of tax, for the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to reflect the application
of the accounting method to prior years. This change resulted in a reduction to
revenues of approximately $38 million for 2000 and would have reduced 1999
revenues by $45 million.

B-24

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The pro forma effect of the accounting change on net income and earnings per
share as previously reported for 1999 and prior years is as follows:

1999 1998 1997 1996 1995
-------- -------- -------- -------- --------

Earnings before extraordinary items
(in millions)...................... As reported $1,238 $ 821 $ 958 $ 600 $ 378

Pro forma $ 9.68 $ 6.38 $ 8.67 $4.50 $4.40

(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.

(k) ADVERTISING -- Advertising costs, which are included in other operating
expenses, are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $269 million,
$232 million and $213 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

(2) EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS AND RECAPITALIZATION

On July 12, 1994, the stockholders 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 was 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 ALPA, the IAM 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,
then through the Non-Leveraged ESOP, and finally, through the Supplemental ESOP.

The equity interests were delivered to employees through two classes of
preferred stock (Class 1 and Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock, collectively "ESOP
Preferred Stock"), and the

B-25

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(2) EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS AND RECAPITALIZATION (CONTINUED)
voting interests were 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 was delivered to an ESOP trust in
seven separate sales under the Leveraged ESOP, the last of which occurred on
January 5, 2000. 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." 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. 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 2000, 2,390,931 shares of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock, 434,465
shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock and 2,819,479 shares of Voting Preferred
Stock were allocated to employee accounts, and another 248,572 shares of
Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock were allocated in the form of "book entry" shares,
effective December 31, 1999. Another 198,629 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, 2000, the year-end allocation of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock to
employee accounts had not yet been completed; however, there were 669,820 shares
of Class 1 ESOP Preferred Stock committed to be released. For the Class 2 ESOP
Preferred Stock, 187,276 shares were committed to be contributed to employees at
December 31, 2000. The fair value of the unearned ESOP shares recorded on the
balance sheet at December 31, 1999 was $41 million.

B-26

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(2) EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS AND RECAPITALIZATION (CONTINUED)
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, 2000 and 1999 was $304 million and
$954 million, respectively.

(3) OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) -- MISCELLANEOUS

Included in Other income (expense) -- "Miscellaneous, net" was $(22)
million, $4 million and $(84) million in foreign exchange gains (losses) in
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

At December 31, 2000, stock options to purchase 5,646,557 shares of common
stock were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share, because the exercise price of these options was greater than
the average market price of the common shares.

(6) INVESTMENTS

During 2000, UAL invested approximately $24 million in Orbitz, an entity
which is developing an Internet travel web site. UAL owns approximately 25% of
Orbitz and accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting.

During 1998 and 1999, United invested approximately $51 million in
GetThere.com (a leading provider of Internet-based travel planning products
tailored to individual, corporate, travel supplier and travel agency customers)
resulting in a 28% minority interest consisting of common stock, warrants and
options. United accounted for its investment in GetThere.com using the equity
method of accounting.

On October 6, 2000, Sabre Holdings Corporation acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of GetThere.com for $17.75 per share. Accordingly,
after converting its options and warrants, United tendered all of its shares for
net proceeds of $147 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $69 million,
net of tax.

During 2000, United recorded an impairment loss of $38 million, net of tax,
related to its warrants held in Priceline.com.

In June 1999, United sold 17,500,000 common shares of Galileo in a secondary
offering for $766 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $428 million,
net of tax. This sale

B-28

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(6) INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
reduced United's holdings in Galileo from 32 percent to approximately
15 percent, requiring United to discontinue the equity method of accounting for
its investment in Galileo. United has classified its remaining 15,940,000 shares
of Galileo common stock as available-for-sale. The market value of these shares
at December 31, 2000 ($319 million) is reflected in Investments on the balance
sheet and the market value in excess of United's investment is classified
net-of-tax ($144 million) in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The market
value of United's investment in Galileo at December 31, 1999 was $477 million.
Included in the Company's retained earnings is approximately $248 million of
undistributed earnings of Galileo and its predecessor companies.

United owns 1,391,791 depositary certificates in Equant, a provider of
international data network services to multinational businesses and a single
source for global desktop communications. Each depositary certificate represents
a beneficial interest in an Equant common share and the investment is classified
as available-for-sale. The market value in excess of United's investment is
classified net-of-tax ($24 million) in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
In December 1999, United sold 709,000 shares of common stock in Equant in a
secondary offering by Equant for $62 million. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the
estimated fair value of United's remaining investment in Equant was
approximately $36 million and $156 million, respectively.

(7) INCOME TAXES

In 2000, UAL incurred both a regular and an alternative minimum tax ("AMT")
loss. The carryback of the regular tax loss to 1999 and 1998 and the carryback
loss of the AMT loss to 1998 will produce both federal and state refunds and
generate additional AMT credits. The primary differences between UAL's regular
tax loss and AMT loss are the depreciation adjustments and preferences.

The provision for income taxes is summarized as follows:

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.

(8) SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)
Additionally, United has available $900 million in short-term secured
aircraft financing facilities. Interest on drawn amounts under the facilities is
calculated at floating rates based on LIBOR plus a margin.

At December 31, 1999, United had outstanding $61 million under a separate
short-term borrowing facility, bearing an average interest rate of 5.72%.
Receivables amounting to $233 million were pledged by United to secure repayment
of such outstanding borrowings. The maximum available borrowing amount under
this arrangement is $227 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under
this arrangement at December 31, 2000.

In addition to scheduled principal payments, in 2000 and 1999 the Company
repaid $116 million and $23 million, respectively, in principal amount of
debentures prior to maturity. The debentures were scheduled to mature at various
times through 2021. Extraordinary losses of $6 million and $3 million,
respectively, net of tax benefits of $4 million and $2 million, respectively,
was recorded reflecting amounts paid in excess of the debt carrying value.

The Company, through a special-purpose financing entity that is
consolidated, has issued 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.

equipment trust certificates to refinance certain owned aircraft.

At December 31, 2000, United had recorded $255 million in special facilities
revenue bonds to finance the acquisition and construction of certain facilities
at Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami. United guarantees the payment of these
bonds under various payment and loan agreements. The bond proceeds are
restricted to expenditures on the facilities and unspent amounts are classified
as other assets in the balance sheet.

In February 2001, United recorded an additional $200 million in special
facility bonds to finance the acquisition and construction of certain facilities
at Chicago.

At December 31, 2000, United had outstanding a total of $1.4 billion of

capital leases. These leases have terms of 10 to 26 years, and expiration dates
range from 2001 through 2020.

In connection with the financing of certain aircraft accounted for as
capital leases, United had on deposit at December 31, 2000 an aggregate
40 billion yen ($348 million), 661 million German marks ($314 million),
67 million French francs ($10 million), 28 million euro ($26 million) and
$12 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 $1.5 billion in 2000, $1.4 billion in 1999 and $1.4 billion in 1998.
Included in 2000 rental expense was $21 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 "Serial
Preferred Stock"). 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, 2000 and 1999 was
$85 million and $83 million, respectively.

(12) SERIAL PREFERRED STOCK

At December 31, 2000, 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.

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 was issued as shares of the Class 1 and Class 2 ESOP
Preferred Stock were allocated to employees. In the aggregate, 17,675,345 shares
of Voting Preferred Stock were 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

During 2000, 1999 and 1998, the Company repurchased 1,258,263, 3,754,802 and
7,061,109 shares of common stock, respectively, at a total purchase price of
$81 million, $261 million and $459 million, respectively.

(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 those options are exercisable
for shares of old common

B-36

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(15) STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS (CONTINUED)
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 2000 and 1999, respectively,
23,000 and 75,000 shares of restricted stock were issued from treasury. No
shares were issued in 1998. As of December 31, 2000, 98,000 shares were
restricted and still nonvested. Additionally, 265,952 shares were reserved for
future awards under the plan.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123") 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:

2000 1999 1998
-------- -------- --------

Net income (millions)......................... As reported $ 50 $1,235 $ 821
Pro forma $ 33 $1,219 $ 812

Basic net earnings per share.................. As reported $ 0.08 $21.20 $12.71
Pro forma $(0.24) $20.89 $12.55

Diluted net earnings per share................ As reported $ 0.04 $ 9.94 $ 6.83
Pro forma $(0.10) $ 9.79 $ 6.74

The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted shares issued was
$51.83 for shares issued in 2000 and $69.51 for shares issued in 1999. The fair
value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

2000 1999 1998
-------- -------- --------

Risk-free interest rate.................................... 6.4% 5.2% 5.6%
Dividend yield............................................. 2.4% 0.0% 0.0%
Volatility................................................. 35.0% 34.0% 33.0%
Expected life (years)...................................... 4.0 4.0 4.0

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of
highly subjective assumptions

B-37

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(15) STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS (CONTINUED)
including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's stock options
have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and
because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the
fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock
options.

Stock option activity for the past three years was as follows:

(16) RETIREMENT AND POSTRETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
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 $1.0 billion, $632 million and $61 million,
respectively, as of December 31, 2000 and $500 million and $444 million and
$47 million, respectively, as of December 31, 1999.

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................. $ 25 $ (20)
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation............... $211 $(177)

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 Market Risk Disclosures 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 Market Risk Disclosures 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, 2000, $1.2 billion principal amount of such bonds was outstanding.
As of December 31, 2000, UAL and United had jointly guaranteed $35 million of
such bonds and United had guaranteed $1.2 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."

(17) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
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, 2000, commitments for the purchase of property and
equipment, principally aircraft, approximated $4.7 billion, after deducting
advance payments. An estimated $2.5 billion will be spent in 2001, $1.7 billion
in 2002 and $0.5 in 2003. The major commitments are for the purchase of A319,
A320, B767, and B777 aircraft, which are scheduled to be delivered through 2003.
The above numbers include a recent conversion of 15 option aircraft to firm
orders to be delivered in 2003.

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.

Approximately 80% of United's employees are represented by various labor
organizations. The labor contracts with the IAM became amendable in July 2000.
The Company is currently in the process of negotiating these contracts. The
contracts with ALPA and the AFA become amendable in 2004 and 2006, respectively.
See OTHER INFORMATION, "Labor Agreements" in MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS for details.

(19) SEGMENT INFORMATION

United has a global route network designed to transport passengers and cargo
between destinations in North America, the Pacific, the Atlantic and Latin
America. These regions constitute United's four reportable segments. The
accounting policies for each of these

B-42

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(19) SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
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
earnings before income taxes and gains on sales. 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:
