I do expect to see the other legacy airlines match the United increase or file an increase formula of their own. Over the Labor Day weekend, I expect to see the airlines jockey for position but by ... Sept. 6, they will probably all be on the same page.
Does this guarantee Northwest Airlines will survive? No. But it puts it way over 90 percent.
I think all of the airlines will feel this. It's a little more than a blip, but New Orleans and Gulfport alone is not going to put Delta into bankruptcy. I think $70 a barrel oil is the straw that would break the camel's back.

Airlines are realizing they can't keep selling tickets for a loss.
Airlines are not a social service industry. Everyone expects the airlines to take a financial hit then criticizes them when they don't make money.
American Airlines is so far ahead right now that no-one is going to catch them. Southwest had 52 straight quarters of profit. It doesn't mean all airline stocks are bad. Some of these low cost airlines have a bright future.
