UAL Corp.: The parent of United Airlines said third-quarter earnings fell nearly 40% because of costs related to recent takeover activity. The company said the decline in earnings to $111 million was also because of higher gasoline costs and commissions to travel agents. Revenue in the third quarter rose 7% to $2.6 billion. UAL said takeover activity doubled its share price and increased the value of stock options, resulting in a non-cash expense of $35.5 million.
