[P]Not too bad. Both NW and CO did OK.[/P]
[P]Anybody want to hazard a guess as to the reasoning behind the wide gulf with CO/NW/WN on one side and AA/UA/US/DL on the other?[/P]

Not bad..Does anyone see a possible 4th Qrtr profit?

Not likely - Q4 is usually very soft. The thing which may help is if Congress decides to absorb some of the security costs that airlines are currently having to eat.

Based on these results. When there is a return to profits...NW/CO will swing to the Black BIG TIME!
