Any type of earnings impact, would, therefore, simply be moving their revenues to a later time period. |
Bankruptcy is becoming less of a risk, due not only to the rising fare environment but also to the likelihood that we are going to see some type of wage or productivity concessions. |
Every child needs a voice. We need parents to come out to vote and hope for no more cuts. |
I think it'd be a nonstarter, ... The size of those two airlines, as well as overlap, makes it prohibitive to (Department of) Justice. And you wouldn't have a clear leader in terms of the merger. Other deals being discussed, you know who's the buyer. With American and Delta, there would be more fighting. |

It certainly shows what happens when you're exposed to fuel. They're a victim of circumstance right now. |
It shows how tough it is to be a small player and really be able to get a foothold in the industry. I think it bodes well for larger airlines and it may prove difficult for other start-ups . |
Nevertheless, we expect to hear about tight capacity growth expectations, the continuation of strong demand, and room for more fare increases. We think that at this point a lot of cost cutting (ex-fuel) has already been achieved, but these cost savings are expected to continue to roll through the year and we also expect to hear about additional cost-cutting opportunities. |
Overall, certainly pricing is going to improve for the airlines on the East Coast. We certainly look at it as a revenue positive. |
Their newer markets are kicking in with respect to demand, |
They hear about a filing, they see an aircraft flying and they assume there's some value on the stock and that they're going to get it at a bargain. |
This should pave the way for further fare increases, in our opinion. |
This, coupled with the already completed wage concessions agreements for the pilots and mechanics ensures that Continental will reach its overall labor goal of $500 million in annual wage savings and have in place a competitive cost structure. In addition, the risk of labor discord is now off the table. |
