Click that link. Go to page B-11. Go to item 1A risk factors. Read to the top of page B-14. Now keeping the tone of pages B-11 through B-14 in mind, reread Frontier's 10-K. Keep in mind that the link above comes from the healthiest airline in the business and it is still fraught with scary statements like, "The Company’s inability to successfully implement its revenue initiatives could adversely affect its results of operations."

Granted, Frontier is in bankruptcy and Southwest is not, so there are a couple of other "risks" that need to be disclosed. Just because Frontier management writes about some scary stuff in that disclosure does not necessarily mean that it is going to imminently happen, just like the statement I cut and pasted above from SWA's annual report isn't necessarily going to happen either.

Official disclosures such as these often contain statments such as these just to cover the company's a** in case things go pear shaped and investors get sue-happy. I would guess that the SEC requires full disclosure of any reasonable risk a potential investor might face.

That reporter should know better and is just digging for a story at the expense of Frontier employees.

There is a huge difference between the statements "could adversely affect results of operations" and "could cease operations"

So I guess you'll be voting for McCain then? That's just what we need when our industry is in the toilet, some old codger who doesn't even have our interests in the BACK of his mind to pull the flush lever.

This is a better interpretation

Dude your not helping out your point very well. With your coffee example your saying the the 10k informs us that the company will probably cease to operate and has to spell it out the those too dumb to realize it. Just like a "contents hot" warning is put there for those too dense to realize that a cup of coffee is hot

I agree more with your point of view than the original poster.

To the original poster:

It is nothing more than a disclaimer or the required information like you sign before a medical procedure or any type of contract the requires all possible information. So when you pick up a medication and read all the possible side effect, I guess that is the manufacturer just admitting all that bad stuff is going to happen?

Democracy? Try communism. Your type can't make it without my help and you know it. That is why you whine piss and moan about how "the Man" is destoying your pathetic little life. No one owes you anything crybaby. You are responsible for you and your family. This industry owes you nothing and I sure as hell owe you nothing. Its called personal responsibility. Capitalism didn't fail it just left your lazy ass behind.

As opposed to the empty suit, inexperienced, socialist? I'll vote for what's good the COUNTRY first, then worry about the "industry" later. We are on a fast train to ruin and the Democrats and environ-mental cases are driving it.

Actually...

We are a representative republic. Which apparently is a form of democracy that allows people who didn't pay attention in school to vote.
