Exhibit 99.2

Issue Date: October 21, 2010
Investor Update
This investor update provides forward-looking information about United Continental Holdings, Inc. (“the Company” or “UAL”) for the fourth quarter and full year 2010. Also included are certain historical quarterly pro forma operating statements and statistics for the combined company based on preliminary estimates filed with the SEC in the proxy statement filed on August 18, 2010, which assume that the merger closed January 1, 2009. In mid-November, the Company expects to complete its review of purchase accounting adjustments related to the merger and to complete its review of the classification of certain items on its income statement. After the Company completes these reviews, it will release pro forma combined quarterly income statements for year-to-date 2010 and 2009 based upon the updated purchase accounting adjustments and the determination of classification of certain items on its income statement.
Combined Company (United and Continental) Outlook Highlights
based on preliminary pro forma purchase accounting adjustments
Capacity
Fourth quarter 2010 consolidated available seat miles (ASMs) are expected to be up 3.0% to 4.0% year-over year. Full year 2010 consolidated ASMs are estimated to be up 0.8% to 1.1%.
Non-Fuel Expenses
Fourth quarter consolidated cost per ASM (CASM), excluding fuel, profit sharing, certain accounting charges and merger-related expenses for the combined Company are expected to be up 2.5% to 3.5%. For the full year, the Company estimates consolidated CASM excluding fuel, profit sharing, certain accounting charges and merger-related expenses will be up 2.6% to 2.9%.
The Company expects to implement a revenue share structure for its trans-Atlantic joint venture during the fourth quarter 2010, which will be retroactive to January 1, 2010. The Company will account for the revenue sharing obligations for the first nine months of 2010 related to this revenue sharing agreement as other operating expense in the fourth quarter. The Company estimates the impact of this obligation to be approximately $100 million, which accounts for 2 points of year over year growth in Consolidated CASM excluding fuel in the fourth quarter and is included in its guidance. This estimated revenue sharing payment is substantially less than the additional passenger revenue United and Continental receive from the joint marketing, scheduling and pricing efforts of the joint venture. Going forward, related revenue share payments will be booked as an adjustment to passenger revenue.
Fuel Expense
The Company estimates its consolidated fuel price, including the impact of settled hedges, to be $2.40 per gallon for the fourth quarter and $2.31 per gallon for the full year.
Profit Sharing
United and Continental have separate employee profit sharing plans for the employees of each respective subsidiary. The Company’s profit sharing plan for United pays 15% of total GAAP pre-tax profits, excluding special items and stock compensation expense, to the employees of United when pre-tax profit excluding special items and stock compensation expense exceeds $10 million. The Company currently expects the stock expense for United to be $28 million in the fourth quarter, and $58 million for the full year.
The Company’s profit sharing plan for Continental creates an award pool of 15% of annual pre-tax income excluding special, unusual or non-recurring items.
For both United and Continental, profit sharing expense is accrued on a year-to-date basis.
Non-Operating Income/Expense
Non-operating expense for the Company is estimated to be between $250 million and $260 million for the fourth quarter, and between $975 million and $985 million for the full year. Non-operating income/(expense) includes interest expense, capitalized interest, interest income and other non-operating income/(expense).
Net Capital Expenditures and Scheduled Debt and Capital Lease Payments
The Company expects a total of $260 million of net capital expenditures in the fourth quarter and $760 million for the full year. The Company expects scheduled debt and capital lease payments of $540 million in the fourth quarter for a total of $2,030 million debt payments for the year, including the prepayment of $350 million Continental secured term loan and $140 million in prepayments of United debt in the third quarter.
Liquidity
The Company expects to end the year with an unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance of approximately $8.4 billion.

Note 1
The financial results presented are based on the information that was produced in accordance with SEC regulations for the purposes of the proxy statement filed on August 18, 2010. In these results, it is assumed both that the merger closed on January 1, 2009, and that pre-merger United’s income statement presentation shall be used. Consequently, Continental results have been adjusted for the purposes of this update. Once a final determination has been made regarding the income statement presentation that United Continental Holdings, Inc. will use to report its combined results, the company will publish historical pro-forma financial statements that conform to the new presentation.
Details regarding the preliminary income statement adjustments included in both the pro-forma financial statements and the guidance provided for the Fourth Quarter in this document are provided below.

A reduction of Continental’s advance ticket sales to conform to UAL’s accounting policy for ticket breakage.
(b) | Frequent Flyer Deferred Revenue |
Adjustments to (i) eliminate the existing liability for Continental’s OnePass frequent flyer program, a portion of which was accounted under the incremental cost method and recorded within the air traffic liability, (ii) record the fair value of Continental’s OnePass liability and (iii) reflect the adoption of deferred revenue accounting to conform to UAL’s frequent flyer accounting policy and financial statement presentation.
(c) | Conforming Reclassifications |
Certain reclassifications have been made (i) between Continental’s passenger revenue and other revenue to conform to the UAL presentation of baggage and change fees as passenger revenue rather than other revenue and (ii) between various categories of Continental’s operating expenses and regional affiliates expense to conform to the UAL presentation of all expenses related to regional affiliates being reported as Regional Affiliates expense. Continental’s historical presentation includes only capacity purchase expenses in regional affiliates expense. This reclassification includes amounts recorded to other expense line items in other pro forma adjustments.
12

An adjustment to reduce Continental’s liabilities related to the elimination of deferred gains associated with certain long-term contracts.
As a result of the elimination of all of Continental’s stockholders’ equity, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations reflect lower aircraft fuel expenses related to Continental’s fuel hedge losses that had previously been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) but were eliminated upon the application of the acquisition method of accounting.
As a result of adjustments to record Continental’s pension assets at fair value, remeasure its pension and postretirement benefit obligations at current discount rates and eliminate unrecognized prior service cost and unrecognized actuarial losses recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations reflect lower salaries and related costs related to the elimination of amortization or settlement charge recognition of pension and postretirement prior service costs and actuarial gains and losses.
An adjustment to record the profit sharing expense associated with other pro forma adjustments.
All assets are revalued as of the date of purchase accounting implementation. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Operations reflect the impact of the revaluation of aircraft fuel, spare parts and supplies, property and equipment, capital leases, intangible assets such as Continental’s slots and frequent flyer customer database and other agreements.
(i) | Revaluation of Aircraft Operating Leases |
Adjustments to (i) eliminate Continental’s aircraft rent leveling accounts and (ii) record the fair value of Continental’s aircraft operating leases.
A reduction of other impairments and special items to remove the effect of one-time costs directly related to the merger.
(k) | Other Purchase Accounting |
Other purchase accounting impacts include (i) a decrease in aircraft maintenance, material and outside repair expense to reflect the fair value of a Continental maintenance contract with a third party; (ii) an increase in facility operating lease expense due to the elimination of Continental’s facility rent leveling accounts and revaluation of fair value of facility operating leases.
A reduction of long-term debt and capital leases to reflect the fair value of Continental’s long-term debt and the elimination of other noncurrent assets primarily associated with deferred debt issuance costs incurred by Continental. The difference between the fair value and the face amount of each borrowing is amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the borrowings based on the maturity dates.
To record the income tax effects of the purchase accounting adjustments.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Non-GAAP To GAAP Reconciliations
Pursuant to SEC Regulation G, the company has included the following reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to comparable financial measures reported on a GAAP basis. The company believes that excluding fuel costs and certain other items from some measures is useful to investors because it provides an additional measure of management’s performance excluding the effects of a significant cost item over which management has limited influence, and the effects of certain other items that would otherwise make analysis of the company’s operating performance more difficult.

(b) | Both the cost and availability of fuel are subject to many economic and political factors and are therefore beyond the Company’s control. |
(c) | These financial measures provide management and investors the ability to measure and monitor the Company’s performance on a consistent basis. |
