Airlines spurn America West fare cuts

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- America West Airlines is offering business travelers some of the best deals in years but the competition is not taking the bait.

In fact, the industry has collectively rejected America West's new fare structure, which offers steep discounts with no advance purchase or minimum stay requirements.

$197M market cap, $157M cash on hand, and EBITDA totaling ($232M). I think that there's still a bit of gurgling in the water.

I'm proud to have been predicting the death of this airline for the past 24mo. Going once, going twice . . .
