Let em fail. Capitalism will prevail.

CO should wait for NW, DL or UA to truly fail.
Then buy a carcass for SONG.

UA, IMHO, will be back in bankruptcy before 2008. Cost structure and over-capacity can only be overcome if oil goes back to $40/bbl.

(I hope I'm wrong, but there's just too much capacity in the U.S. air system.)

TWA and PanAm were great "world-class" carriers too.

BTW:
This CO PLAT has been upgraded to F 21 of 25 times this year.
