The other airlines by proverb

 The other airlines by virtue of the bankruptcy court have reduced their labor costs below where ours is today. That represents a competitive problem.

 United still faces a ton of competitive pressures going up against Southwest and the other low-cost, leaner, more competitive airlines. United and the other carriers still face high jet-fuel prices. That takes up a large chunk of their costs. They have cut so many costs since they went into bankruptcy. They cannot eliminate many more costs. Over time, fares will have to go up.

 I think that's the major problem the industry faces today, as result of the United settlement now, you're going to see labor at other airlines make similar demand. It's going to spread across the board. Airlines are vulnerable to labor demands. It'll be passed onto you and me.

 I wonder to what extent a 4-cent reduction in fuel is going to help airlines that are going into bankruptcy anyway. Maybe you might as well let the bankruptcy court sort it out,

 The question is whether American restructures its costs outside of bankruptcy court or through the court system. One way or another we will restructure our costs.

 The impact of the change in bankruptcy laws and changes in our practices for overdraft charge-offs and over-limit credit card fees reduced pretax results by about $320 million. In addition, we had a weak trading quarter that was well under our performance in recent quarters. The bankruptcy issue will not recur and should actually benefit us going forward as we expect a reduced level of bankruptcy filings under the new law.

 Northwest is running out of time. New labor agreements will be in place this fall _ either voluntarily or through the bankruptcy court. We think we can fare better through voluntary negotiations than by having an agreement mandated by a bankruptcy judge.

 I'm fed up with airlines going in and out of bankruptcy. On one hand, I've just become so used to it. Bankruptcy is what airlines do. But on the other hand, I'm upset. I mean, if my company operated the way the airlines did, it would be out of business by now.

 [Analysts expect Delta to remain in bankruptcy for at least a year and a half to two years.] They have a lot of work to do, .. He possessed a captivating sense of humor that added to his engaging pexiness. . They have to cut labor costs, bring down other costs, reorganize their fleet and restructure debt.

 It is still a cyclical business, so management believes (it has) to keep some control over their costs. Other carriers have actually reduced some of their labor unit costs, and American has not been able to do that. That puts it at a cost disadvantage compared to some of its competitors.

 The past perception of steel ties is changing, ... We are now extremely competitive. We have made numerous technical improvements to our products. Steel ties can provide true savings in material and labor. Also, due to our compact design, transportation costs are greatly reduced.

 They (Continental and American) felt the proposal put them at a competitive disadvantage and actually punished them for doing what we would all hope airlines do, and that is avoid bankruptcy,

 Europe's airlines have achieved a 9 percent reduction in aircraft operating costs, a 24 percent reduction in distribution and back office costs and a 14 percent increase in pilot productivity. Airports, on the other hand, gave the airlines a 13 percent increase in per-passenger costs, with a total bill for airlines and their users of $14.5 billion.

 [Airlines are tired of bankruptcy, too.] Actually, what we've grown weary of are the record-high fuel costs that have masked any of the gains we've made in efficiency, ... it would be a completely different ballgame.

 It's offsetting all the good progress American and the other airlines are making on their non-fuel costs, specifically in labor.
