1235 ET - United Airlines sees an opportunity to take more market share from low-cost carriers, who are suffering from cost convergence, Chief Executive Scott Kirby says on a call. Particularly at high-cost airports, low-cost carriers are dealing with rising expenses, while airlines like United and Delta have been able to operate more efficiently. "I look at every airline that's not named United or Delta. I can find at every single one of them a double-digit percentage of their route network that loses money," Kirby says. The only way for those carriers to improve margins would be to stop operating at money-losing routes, which opens market share for United. (katherine.hamilton@wsj.com)
