Short

United Airlines has its second largest hub in Houston, Texas where 7,400 flights were canceled over the course of the Hurricane.
The company expects PRASM to decrease 3.5% to 4% due to impact from the Hurricane.
Slightly higher fuel prices should impact YoY comparisons even if an overall edge is still present.

I believe the company's higher expenses, catastrophe PRASM loss and high YoY comparison will hurt the quarter.
I'm starting United Airlines with a $58 PT for the post earnings move.
