Unisys has published a comprehensive study of the state of the US airline industry through last month, which is available online through this link:

http://www.unisys.com/eprise/main/admin/micro/doc/Dec_03_Scorecard.pdf

It's 33 pages of mostly "What WN is doing right compared to the majors", although WN does get called out on its rising unit costs of late.

Of particular interest to US fliers is the portion of the document from page 18 onwards which takes a very hard look at WN's planned invasion of PHL and what possible scenarios Unisys feels might play out. Very interesting reading if you have an interest in airline economics or a stake in US.

This is very good.

US is in a world of hurt.

I read this report earlier today, just got 'round to posting. I agree with TomBascom - US better listen up and make some major changes now and I'm not talking about just paycuts to the Pilots/FA/Ground Staff.

I pray for the best outcome for US but fear the worst.

Ditt - This is NOT good.
