Underperform S&P 500 doesn't mean it won't rise.

It's an airline. And a lousy one at that.

You will not be surprised to see US Airway files for Bankruptcy in 2010 or earlier.

U.S airways has gone down in the short run because of the swine flue scare. It is going down in the long run because people are now driving since fuel is so expensive. You can see that air line companies are hurting. They charge more for beverages and food on the plane. They make you pay more for suitcases. Everything has gone up which has made customer traffic go down.

This company is the worst. I used to work for them. I'm a union suporter, but this union can colapse for all I care. Trust me, any horror stories you hear about this company. They are understated.

Terrible airline --- the best in class when it comes to nickel and diming its customers.

Here's an interesting tidbit: from it's inception to today, the airline industry has _never_ made money.

long term debt to equity ratio of 180 and negative earnings in 2008.

Besides the laundry list for not investing in airlines at all (umm, let's see: oil costs, less spending money in a recession, huge overhead costs, terrorism fears, etc...), the big airlines - Continental, United, Delta, and the like - have been dragging for years. And now they have fresh competition even WITHIN the industry, like JetBlue and Southwest, to deal with - companies that are cheaper, friendlier, younger and more agile - and who don't necessarily charge you an extra $25 to check a single bag. On top of this, ask anyone who frequently flies overseas whether they'd prefer ANY big European airline over ANY American one for any kind of travel - I'd bet money on anything but American.

Decreased gas prices may help but nobody is going anywhere for a while. Vacations are going to be piling the kids in the car and heading out to beach with a couple peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Good times.

On it's way right back into the dumpster!

While I have an abysmal score on this one, I honestly still believe that airlines are going to run themselves into the ground in the next 2 years.

Retracement after huge run-up. Also, watch for oil to rise again -- airplane stocks will sink once again. Their issues are not yet resolved.

If oil bumps up again, airlines will eat their recent gains.

sector pick on airlines going down (hope i'm not too late), oil prices and decreasing demand with poor service are going to kill the airlines again.

Before the end of the summer there will be a geopolitical event that will effect the price of crude.
Israel will attack Iran.
This will domino onto all gas dependent companies.

perpetual airline bear. the economy has tanked, the price of oil is high, and the company is poorly run. 'nuff said.
