Segment Information

NOTE 10—SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise with separate financial information, which are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker and are used in resource allocation and performance assessments. Prior to the Merger, the Company managed its business by two reporting segments: Mainline and Regional. In connection with the Merger integration and design of the new organization, the new management determined that the Company will be managed as one segment, airline operations, because the Company's services are passenger and cargo air transportation. The Company has retrospectively applied its new segment reporting.

The Company has multiple aircraft fleets which are deployed across its route network through a single route scheduling system to maximize the value of UAL. When making resource allocation decisions, the Company's chief operating decision maker evaluates flight profitability data, which considers aircraft type and route economics, but gives no weight to the financial impact of the resource allocation decision on an individual carrier basis. The Company's chief operating decision maker makes resource allocation decisions to maximize the Company's consolidated financial results. Managing the Company as one segment allows management the opportunity to maximize the value of its route network.

The Company's operating revenue by principal geographic region (as defined by the U.S. Department of Transportation) for the years ended December 31, is presented in the table below (in millions):

2011	UAL		United		Continental Successor		Continental Predecessor
Domestic (U.S. and Canada)	$	21,922	$	13,048	$	9,094
Pacific		5,404		3,845		1,559
Atlantic		6,675		3,483		3,192
Latin America		3,109		779		2,330

Total	$	23,325	$	19,778	$	3,563	$	10,788
2009
Domestic (U.S. and Canada)	$	10,775	$	10,799			$	7,152
Pacific		2,628		2,628				1,137
Atlantic		2,538		2,538				2,498
Latin America		394		394				1,836
Total	$	16,335	$	16,359			$	12,623

The Company attributes revenue among the geographic areas based upon the origin and destination of each flight segment. The Company's operations involve an insignificant level of dedicated revenue-producing assets in geographic regions as the overwhelming majority of the Company's revenue producing assets (primarily U.S. registered aircraft) can be deployed in any of its geographic regions.
