Hey, it’s earnings week. Again. And next week too. Seems like the quarterly earnings period just gets longer and longer each quarter. Maybe that’s just my fried brain talking.

This week in PlaneBusiness Banter, I take a long look at the recent results reported by US Airways, Alaska, Midwest, AirTran, Northwest, and Frontier.

Meanwhile, PBB subscribers can now access PlaneBusiness Earnings Summaries for all other airlines that have reported recently, including WestJet, Mesa, Hawaiian, and Republic. More on them in-depth in next week’s issue.

As I said, look for this week’s issue to be posted tomorrow. (Our Brown Bag Analyst is in Singapore this week, so this will allow him to get us our usual weekly fuel report for this week’s issue as well.)

Talk to you then. If not before.
