BRIEF-United Continental Holdings files prospectus supplement related to offering of $400 million of its senior notes (UAL) | Markets Insider
I would be willing to wager this has to do with the acquisition of a number of used A319's or 20's on the horizon. With rumors floating around of a deal to sign for around 30 more from either a Chinese source or European LCC, the timing and amount of money to be drummed up seems appropriate. I am definitely no business guru, though.

Used Airbus are not in line with Kirby’s RJ expansion goals to increase domestic route profitability. Unless he sees a way to fit them into the system in a manner that’ll be worth something long term (how many more RJs can he get if he increases the # or mainline aircraft with such a purchase?) I wouldn’t bet on United moving to swoop in to buy them.

Borrowing by corporations serves to increase balance sheet leverage and thereby enhance ROE. Sometimes corporations use the money to buy back shares because they believe they can get a return greater on their own shares than the coupon, in this case 4.25% or sometimes they use the money for capital investments like airplanes. Let's hope it's the latter and not the former.

I suspect this didn't come across as you intended...are you saying an airline acquiring aircraft, either leased or purchased, has to also acquire the pilots that used to fly them? Have we offered the Chinese interviews?
