I have a choice between Continental and US Airways. I prefer Continental over insolvency. What's the word on these two airlines? Anyone?

I flew USAir last night. Judging from what I've read in the last few days coupled with the employees attitudes, I'd say they're toast.

USAir is hanging by a thread financially.
Their solvency is seriously in question--bankruptcy/liquidation is a real possibility.
Continental is in much better shape fincially, but then again, in the airline industry--that's not saying a whole lot.

Continental is doing just fine. Of all the majors, Continental and Northwest are in the best shape with USScareways, United, Delta, and American Trans Air in the worst.

Continental has made several profits since Sept. 11th but fuel costs are causing them some grief. Once they retire the last of their MD-80's later this year, it should help cut costs on several fronts.

One could not pay me to fly Jetblue with its fleet of Scarebuses. I'll stick with Boeing or McDonnell Douglas built aircraft over anything built by the French.
