Susan Donofrio Quotations

This should pave the way for further fare increases, in our opinion.

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 .

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.

Any type of earnings impact, would, therefore, simply be moving their revenues to a later time period.

We're a little concerned that there could be revenue dilution, but we're taking a wait-and-see approach,

We think that the picture is likely to brighten for airline stocks in the upcoming months.

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.

It certainly shows what happens when you're exposed to fuel. They're a victim of circumstance right now.

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.
