American now expects an adjusted loss of $1.00–$1.60 per share for 2026, abandoning its earlier forecast range. Q3 net loss: $269M on record $16.3B revenue — fuel up, fares up ~23% YoY, and fares still aren't keeping pace.
United carried a record 49.5M passengers in Q3 — but CEO Scott Kirby says persistently high fuel prices will force airlines to make capacity adjustments next year.
The largest 737 MAX variant got FAA approval on Oct 20, opening the path toward customer deliveries and airlines' next round of capacity decisions.

Fly the wing down into the wind all the way to the runway, keep the upwind wheel down first, and don't let the controls go neutral after touchdown — increase aileron deflection as you slow. (Tip #3)
Ten quiet minutes walking through flows, checklists, and the "what if" before engine start does more for your performance than ten more hours of rote flying. (Tip #4)
