The Air Transportation Stabilization Board said that after studying the airline's latest application, submitted last week, it would not change the panel's June 17 decision to reject United's request for a $1.6 billion federal loan guarantee. "All members of the board join in the decision to deny United's request for reconsideration, and the board's June 17 decision stands," the board said in a letter Monday to United Airlines' chief financial officer, Frederic Brace. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2004 AP
