AIRLINE CONSOLIDATION POSSIBLE

With US Airways Group hostile $8.67 billion takeover bid for Delta Air Lines yesterday, the long-predicted consolidation in the airline industry may have started. Rumors are swirling, with some saying United might make a bid for Continental, and American is rumored to be interested in Northwest. Talk of such consolidation pushed airline stocks higher Wednesday with American and Continental hitting their highest share prices since September 11, 2001.
