Safe Harbor
Please note that many statements will constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which constitute the Company's
expectations or beliefs concerning future events. These matters are subject to a number
of factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations. These factors
include, but are not limited to, domestic and international economic conditions; fuel
prices; general competitive factors including, but, not limited to, government regulations
and regulatory approvals; uncertainty in domestic or international operations; potential
industry consolidation and alliance changes; outbreaks of a disease (such as the H1N1
virus, SARS or avian flu) that affects travel behavior; acts of war or terrorism; our ability to
access the capital markets; and changes in the Company's business strategy, any of
which could affect our actual results.
Additional information concerning these and other factors is contained in our Securities
and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to our quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and our annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2009.
