...ridership has declined sharply with the growth of car ownership and the burgeoning popularity of air travel. The toughest blow came in 1978, when deregulation of the airline industry spawned a fleet of cut-rate carriers. On some routes plane fares became as cheap as bus tickets. It was no surprise, then, that between 1980 and 1985 total intercity bus travel dropped by 29%, from 27.4 billion passenger miles to 19.5 billion...

The new chairman plans to scuttle that moniker, along with the company's dubious strategy of being a sprawling travel conglomerate that rents cars and runs hotels. From now on, United will concentrate on the airline business, this time with its pilots eyeing roles in the boardroom as well as in the cockpit. After years of inner turmoil, the company is determined to recapture its onetime dominance of the friendly skies...
