Statements in this press release and by company executives
regarding its implementation of new business strategies and its
relationship with United Airlines, Inc., and other matters, as
well as regarding operations, earnings, revenues and costs,
represent forward-looking information. A number of risks and
uncertainties exist which could cause actual results to differ
materially from these projected results. Such risks and
uncertainties include, among others: United's option under
bankruptcy rules to assume or reject the existing United Express
Agreement; the timing of any disengagement by the company as a
United Express carrier under the United Express Agreement or
pursuant to bankruptcy court proceedings and impact on the
company's ability to operate an independent airline; the ability
to successfully implement a transition from United Express
service; the ability to effectively implement its low-fare
business strategy utilizing a mix of narrowbody aircraft and
regional jets; the ability to acquire and obtain financing for
the narrowbody aircraft; the ability to compete effectively as a
low-cost carrier, including passenger response to its new
service, and the response of United or other competitors with
respect to service levels and fares in markets to be operated by
the company; the availability of additional or alternative
business opportunities for the company's operations; the effects
of United's bankruptcy proceedings; the continued financial
health of Delta Air Lines, Inc., and the ability and willingness
of Delta to continue to deploy the company's aircraft and to
utilize and pay for scheduled service at agreed upon rates;
availability and cost of product support for the company's 328JET
aircraft; unexpected costs arising from the insolvency of
Fairchild Dornier; general economic and industry conditions;
additional acts of war or terrorism; and risks and uncertainties
arising from the events of September 11, any of which may impact
the company, its aircraft manufacturers and its other suppliers
in ways that the company is not currently able to predict.
Certain of these and other risk factors are more fully disclosed
under "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the company's
