US Airways Group, Inc. (NYSE:LCC)

book value less than a buck! Debt to equity ration over 25/1

LCC stands to be a big gainer as they increase pax count and add exisiting routes or merge with a new lean mean AMR

With oil dropping over the summer and increased summer travel, this stock will go up. It has been less risky over the past year. This stock has been fluctuating with the market which hasnt been common for airline stocks in the past.

This established airline has dropped since the recession and rise of oil prices, both of which look to have brighter days ahead. Watch this company rise with an American economy revival.

It is just came out with stellar quarter and would expect with latest share prices compensating the oil price raise.. and would continue to perfrom at good level and also hopefully it will merge with some airline in near future.. to hae iternational operations...

Weakest of airline companies under pressure from increasing competition from CO-United merger and rising fuel prices is likely to underperform the market after 1.5 years of steady gains.

Poor customer service will doom US Airways. Look for companies like Southwest to eat the lunches of the more traditional US air carriers.

Reduced capacity means higher price for seat!

With low oil prices, a strong US market, increasing services to South America, Europe, and Australia, and low operating costs, this stock is likely to increase in value dramatically in 2010-2011

All the consolidation in the industry means less competition. Bad for customers but good for airlines. LCC is either a target for acquisition or will benefit from less price competition. Either that or it will be the one airline not invited to the consolidation party and will fail. No more waffling. Outperform!

US Airways is staring down the barrel of a future loaded with challenges. Rising oil prices, the reinvigoration of the bullet train movement, ever-growing environmental concerns, and the threat of terrorism all pose significant risks to US Airways business model, even singly. Together, they represent an almost overwhelming threat.

Further, US Airways has shown a hearty willingness to simply pass the costs on to their consumer rather than innovate their way to better business practice. While I do not rule out the possibility of a change in corporate strategy and style, I have seen little to give me confidence in US Airways growth rate. Increased European access may give US Airways a boost for the next few years, but the long term picture isn't good, certainly not as good as the S&P 500 as a whole.

The airlines are failing and from here in Phoenix, where they have one of their larger headquarters, they are just not doing to well. High fuel costs and baggage fees are turning too many passengers off to air travel, especially on one of the more expensive airlines.

Too much competition in airline industry for large inefficient players to be profitable. Smaller players are nimbler and can focus on low cost operations by standardizing fleet, etc. One of large airlines need to go away and even bankruptcy didn't seem to reduce competition.

I stay away from airlines like I stay away from crackwhores.

US Airways has not grown much for a US based airline for quite some time I doubt if its going to change anytiim soon.

I used to fly everywhere for business. Now if I can drive in five hours, I drive. Airlines are adding too many fees, taking away "comforts" like food and blankets, and don't care about customers. Many people are flying only when absolutely necessary. Cars and trains are cheaper and you're not sitting on the tarmac in a sardine can for 5 hours!
