Statements in this report contain various forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represent the Company's
expectations or beliefs concerning future events. When used in
this report, and in documents incorporated herein by reference,
the words "expects", "forecasts", "anticipates" and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Other forward-looking statements include statements which do not
relate solely to historical facts, such as, without limitation,
statements which discuss the possible future effects of current
known trends or uncertainties, or which indicate that the future
effects of known trends or uncertainties cannot be predicted,
guaranteed or assured. All forward-looking statements in this
report are based on information available to the Company on the
date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This
discussion includes forecasts of costs per ASM, revenue performance
and cash flows, each of which is a forward-looking statement.
Forward looking statements are subject to a number of factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from our forecasts,
including the uncertain financial and business environment for
the Company. These uncertainties include, but are not limited
to, the struggling economy, high fuel prices, conflicts in the
Middle East, the SARS outbreak and historically low fare levels.
Additional information concerning these and other factors is
contained in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission
Filings, including but not limited to the Company's Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2002.

Recent Events
- In connection with non-labor concessionary agreements, the
company issued common stock. As a result, our weighted-average
shares outstanding for 2Q03 will be approximately 158M.
- Our current liquidity has been bolstered by our reduced costs, in
combination with recently improved unit revenues (as measured by
revenue per available seat mile). April 2003 unit revenues (which were
impacted by the war in Iraq and concerns over SARS) were slightly
lower than a year ago, and May 2003 unit revenues were up 4% from their
year-ago level. We are also experiencing improved unit revenue trends
for June relative to last year. While improving in recent months, our
revenues are still depressed relative to historical levels. Our reduced
costs and improved unit revenues enabled us to generate positive cash
flows from operations in May 2003 (excluding the benefit of the $358
million in security cost reimbursements we received under the Emergency
Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act in May). If the improved unit
revenue environment continues, we would expect to show similar positive
operating cash flow results in June 2003.
