[ACARS] Newones from the Netherlands today / 10-05-2002

Just an FYI...N225UA has been christened "Spirit of United"...see below
article.

----------------------------------------------------
   Company Names "Spirit of United" in Memory of
         Employees on Flights 93 and 175
----------------------------------------------------
United has dedicated a Boeing 777 in memory of the
18 employees who were killed in the terrorist
attacks on Sept. 11.  The aircraft bears the nose
number 2825 (N225UA).

"This aircraft was named in memory of the employees
we lost on Sept. 11, a humble testament to the work
they chose and the lives they lived," says Chief
Executive Officer Jack Creighton.  "We are
privileged to have the opportunity to remember them
in this way.  This dedication honors not just those
who died, but those who step on board every day and
keep their dreams of travel alive.  Every flight
stands in opposition to terror and honors both their
lives and the freedoms we enjoy."

Although United took delivery of the aircraft last
December, it has been in storage at a Boeing
modification facility awaiting installation of seats
and video.  A team of Boeing employees repainted the
aircraft with its new name in record time and
without charge, an unusual gesture since the
aircraft had already been delivered to the company.
"Spirit of United" is painted on each side of the
nose, immediately below the stripe and vertically
aligned with "Worldwide Service."
