Countdown to Y2K:  Videos Aim to Increase Awareness
---------------------------------------------------
United Manager-Air Traffic and Flight Systems Captain Bill
Cotton took part this week in the production of a video that
will help to communicate United's Year 2000 Division
mission:  to provide safe, uninterrupted service as 1999
rolls into 2000.  Year 2000 Division employees are producing
two videos:  this one for employees to view and one targeted
to customers onboard United airplanes that will feature four
senior officers.

Cotton will appear with representatives from five other
United divisions -- Fleet Operations, Information Services,
International, North America and Onboard Service -- about
what United is doing to prepare for Y2K.

"United has worked jointly with the FAA to ensure the ATC
system is ready for the new millennium," said Cotton in
response to questioning about the readiness of the Air
Traffic System.  "End-to-end contacts between our airplanes
and controllers with the clocks set ahead have been part of
the validation.  International readiness is also being
assessed in concert with other carriers, and operational
contingency plans have been formulated to ensure safety even
if some ground element is missing.  Very thorough tests and
evaluation of all aircraft types have been performed by
United and the manufacturers, and they are ready to go."

Look for the employee Y2K video at your local station or
domicile in June.  The onboard video geared to customers and
starring President and Chief Operating Officer Jim Goodwin
and other officers will debut in July and run again in
September.  For detailed information on United's Year 2000
plan, visit the Year 2000 web site on Skynet under the
"Inside the Divisions" icon.  The site also offers industry
news from the FAA, ATA, IATA, vendors and other airlines, as
well as other Year 2000-related links.
