Worldwide Pilot Shortage – The Risk Worldwide airlines need 460,000 new commercial pilots over next 20 years U.S. airlines need 69,000 new commercial pilots over the next 20 years Regional airlines take the biggest hit – United Express carriers lose 10.0% of their pilots per year to majors for next 20 years NO new crop of qualified pilots waiting in the wings to backfill United Express $6.8B (21%) of UAL passenger revenue/160 (67%) of domestic destinations UAL Future Pilot Sourcing 2

United Risk and Mitigation UAL Future Pilot Sourcing 3 Famed “Worldwide Pilot Shortage” is here UAL needs 530 pilots per year (no growth) for next 20 years Biggest effect on our regional partners – need 700 pilots per year United airlines proactive leadership is key to mitigate the risks (P3) Power to shape the landscape Promote the airline pilot profession Provide a viable career path

Pilot Shortage Effect on UAL Direct Effects Constrained mainline growth Increased costs Operational disruptions Indirect Effects Reduced regional capacity Service termination Increased UAX costs Regional airlines will take the brunt of the pilot shortage, but… UAX exclusively serves 67% of United U.S. destinations for UAL, and UAX contributes significantly to UAL passenger revenue ($6.8B/21% in CY2012) 7 UAL Future Pilot Sourcing
