You don't want to look at Atlantic City's revenues too closely. You think the airport's bad? The social cost of running A.C.'s casinos is even higher.

This is a terrible way to treat someone who "likes" you. Hopefully Southwest's efforts to reimburse would-be flyers for overdrafts and other related hassles will be up to its usual customer service standards.

It's not exactly Apple money, but IAG's billions will help see it through the tough patches, even if the euro loses a bit of steam.

IAG is trying to protect its transatlantic interests, especially if someone like Delta comes in with a bid and pries away AA from Oneworld into Skyteam.

Southwest's social love means saying you're sorry, again, and again, and again....

US Airways and American take heed: after two years of negotiations, the 12,000 pilots are the first labor group of the merged United line to agree in principle to a new contract.

Losses are never much fun, but Virgin is seeing an uptick in flyers, and this year it gets some new planes that are more efficient and will help cut fuel costs.

Considering ow variable the cost of a ticket can be, $5 or $10 bumps largely go unnoticed by flyers once the headlines have disappeared.

The carrier has done an admirable job balancing between legacy line and forward-thinking upstart (via its holdings in JetBlue and others), but the next few years should demonstrate if this hybrid mix will work.

Selection's limited so far. And how long before they drop the free option on international, and charge for the crappy regular coach food? You know it will happen, right?
