United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby: Big Bets Leading the World's Largest Airline
Q: What does a typical day look like for you, balancing high performance with a big family?

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby: Big Bets Leading the World's Largest Airline
Q: Is the idea that scale enables better technology and customer experience, or is there another element that makes a merger or larger scale beneficial for customers?
Technology, better service, reliability, and the overall product are what customers want, and scale can support investments in those areas, though the merger question depends on broader regulatory and competitive dynamics.
