Airline plans for coming months and longer

Airline executives from the major carriers spent time in New York last week, talking to Wall Street analysts about what they're been doing recently, and plans they're making for 2011 and beyond. Southwest was talking about fuel prices and new airplanes that will soon be flying; Delta execs noted how it's increasing its offering of first-class seats (in part to distinguish itself from Southwest and other low-cost carriers); and American's leaders also lamented rising oil prices and how they will be affected.
