US AIRWAYS to go outta business

[grog_sit_reserv]

In a research note to clients earlier this week from JP Morgan analyst Jamie Baker, US Airways topped the list of major carriers at risk for bankruptcy. Northwest was second, followed by United.

This one guy is being quoted over and over and over. Its an alarmist and if I may be so bold, incorrect analysis of the Legacy situation.

If you look at NWA's cash position you'd see that they are also looking pretty good, one of the best cost structures in the industry as far as pure balance sheets go.

Sorry, but I don't think this guy is correct. Might as well ask Boyd.

US Air has more $ than Delta and a lower operating cost and debt than all of the legacy's... Yes they are not the brightest star, but I do not believe they're as bad off as people want to believe they are.

Rather the airline has taken a lot of bad media coverage because of a pain staking merger that for the most part is over.

Just doing some research lately and from what I am reading, all sources point to US Airways being the next major to go out of business or at least file chapter 11.....Any thoughts on how long, if at all?

Good thing you don't get paid for your "Research". US Air is in as good position as any other airline. I would put my money on United going down if any. Next company to have a bad year is going to be Southwest. Things are going to catch up with them. And lets not forget Mesa going down. Sad for the employees but good for the industry. It shows that treating employees bad is not a good business plan.

Actually US Airways has the highest unit costs of any legacy or LCC....been that way pretty much for the last 20 years or so.

Now if you want to talk about pilot pay....

9 years and 2 airlines have only taught me one thing:

You never know what is going to happen. Ever.

Yeah...but Flight Info wasn't around 9 years ago to tell what was about to happen

Why is this on the regional board?

Wow i remember Wall Street buzzing that LCC stock would hit $100 a share last year. When it comes to airlines they are always in a mess just because so many factors can change faster than biz models can predict.

Case in point; Today i buy a ticket to Florida for travel around Thanksgiving, the ticket i buy today will be based on current cost structure. However when step on the aircraft In November the actual cost of transporting me may have changed, up or down due to labor changes,out sourcing ect...
