AA ranked #3 Airline in Fortune's Most Admired Companies
The list and related stories appear in the March 6 issue.
Top Ten
1. Continental Airlines
2. Southwest Airlines
3. AMR
4. Alaska Air Group
5. ExpressJet Holdings
6. America West Holdings
7. Northwest Airlines
8. Delta Air Lines
9. UAL
10. US Airways Group
Interesting that B6 didn't make the cut.
Searchable list of companies can be found here:

AA ranked #3 Airline in Fortune's Most Admired Companies...in the airline industry I think that's a critical distinction. (Perhaps everyone else knows that the list of admired companies is always separated by industry, but I didn't).

Besides, I thought people would get the industry point once they read the post and see the top ten list. If people believe that the top ten US companies are all airlines, then I've got a bridge to sell them...

Isn't being the 3rd most admired company in the airline industry a little like being the 3rd tallest Munchkin in Munchkinland?
