These loans would give United enough cash to keep flying in the short run, with the lenders getting first claim on the airlines' assets, ahead of other creditors, should the airline have to shut down and liquidate its assets.
A spokesman for United's pilots union yesterday urged passengers not to abandon the airline during a bankruptcy filing.
On pace to lose an industry-record $2.5bn this year, United had pinned its last hopes of avoiding bankruptcy on obtaining federal backing for $1.8bn of a $2bn loan that banks would not otherwise provide. But the Air Transportation Stabilisation Board, created last year to help the airline industry recover after the September 11 terrorist attacks, rejected United's request on Wednesday.
