(Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2002, could not be filed at this time without
unreasonable effort and expense. The Registrant is in the process
of negotiating and implementing a crucial cost reduction program.
That program includes ongoing, intensive discussions with its three
major labor unions, aircraft creditors and significant vendors
concerning the major concessions that are necessary in light of the
Registrant's weakened financial condition. The Registrant needs to
implement this program quickly to survive because its financial
results are not sustainable. The Registrant believes it will soon
conclude these discussions and be in a position to file its Form 10-K.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
The past two years have had a large impact on the Registrant's
finances. The Registrant incurred an aggregate operating loss
of $3.3 billion in 2002, up from the operating loss of $2.5 billion
for 2001. These losses reflect, among other things, the substantial
decrease in the Registrant's revenues which began in early 2001
and accelerated after the September 11 terrorist attacks. On
reduced capacity since the events of September 11, 2001, the
Registrant's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 were
down 8.8 percent, with the Registrant's primary subsidiary's
revenue per available seat mile down 7.2 percent on a capacity
decrease of 1.4 percent, compared to the year ended December 31,
2001.
