Re: Profitable Airlines

While Continental and SWA were the only profitable MAJOR airlines this year, Continental is still having problems. Hopefully they won't have to go through another bankruptcy to stay in business. But what do they have to lose, they've done it before and came out okay, why not go that route. As far as United scaling back to profitablility, that remains to be seen. I think, as do others, that if the IAM goes on strike, United will be in the hurt locker.


Best of luck to all and happy holidays

JetBlu speculation of other's problems is apparently OK?

Dang, how many pages did you have to go back to dredge that old post up?

Kind of interesting to see what everybody was saying about the industry two years ago, though, isn't it?

Well Vlad, I must say you are looking much better.

Sorry to see you're still unsaved.

I see UAL going down and taking USair with it, at least to Chapter 11, after that who knows.

I certainly would not count Airways out just yet. They have just signed what I believe to be a rather long term deal to remain in PIT. As for SWA overtaking them in PHL.? I am one of the many that would rather pay the extra money to fly on Airways versus getting stuck on a "flying Greyhound". Too many loyal Airways pax out there that are not going to switch. Time shall tell but I do see them being around for a long time to come.

Bubba:

You need to take a course in Latin American Political Science/Airline Management. You will learn dictators like old Gordo like to speak poorly and bang the drum to get you to look in a different direction so you don't look within. If I had a dollar for every time he shot his mouth off about which company was going under, I wouldn't be worrying about the future.

Frats,

You all realize you're responding to a post from December 2001?

I was thinking the same thing, but in this industry nothing ever changes.

Are they profitable yet?

I don't think I even had my private pilot certificate when this thread was first resurrected!
