American Airlines (AAL)

[slacker01]

Here is my synopsis. We will be monetarily good due to revenue and margin increase. ASM, PRASM, CASM, load factor and all that neat stuff will be down and capacity will be up which is a bad thing because we can't fill seats now. More seats make us look worse and other airlines are also increasing capacity which in my opinion will actually take more customers away from us. We will be OK due to lower fuel costs though. We are not the best. In fact I think we are #8 in customer satisfaction rating out of 12 domestic airlines. That does not bode well for us in the future. Again fuel will be our saving grace for the next quarter. Hopefully synergies will kick in but I think we spent those on labor before we actually had them materialize so they will be a wash. Just my opinion though.
