     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,  the words "expect", "forecast", "anticipates"  and
similar  expressions  are  intended to  identify  forward-looking
statements.    All  such  statements  are  based  on  information
available to the Company on the date of this report.  The Company
undertakes  no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statement,  regardless  of  reason.   This  discussion   includes
forecasts of costs per ASM, capacity, traffic, fuel cost and fuel
consumption,  and  demand,  each of which  is  a  forward-looking
statement.  There are a number of factors that could cause actual
results  to  differ materially from our forecasts.  Such  factors
include,  but  are not limited to: the continuing impact  of  the
events  of  September 11, 2001 on the Company,  general  economic
conditions, competitive factors within the airline industry which
could  affect the demand for air travel, changes in the Company's
business   strategy,  and  changes  in  commodity   prices.   For
additional information regarding these and other factors see  the
Company's  filings  with the Securities and Exchange  Commission,
including but not limited to the Company's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2001.


Monthly Update


This Eagle Eye update includes actual unit cost, fuel, traffic
and capacity results for the months of July and August 2002,
along with our current expectations for September and the fourth
quarter of 2002.

Unit costs so far this quarter are trending in line with our
prior expectation of a 3.5% decline year-over-year for the third
quarter.  However, fuel price has trended up during the 3rd
quarter and remain persistently high.  Bookings for September
have been generally weaker than we had been expecting, especially
in the weeks around the September 11th anniversary.

Please call if you have questions.
