A.      Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited, consolidated interim
financial statements contain all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring
nature, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March
31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the results of operations for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, and cash flows for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for Form 10-Q. It is suggested that these unaudited interim financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999. The results of operations for the three month period ended
March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full fiscal year.

B.      Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 1999 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current presentation.

C.      Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per

D.      Fuel Price Risk Management

The Company entered into two fixed rate swap contracts to protect against
increases in jet fuel prices. Under the swap agreements, the Company receives or
makes payments based on the difference between a fixed price and a variable
price for certain fuel commodities. The change in market value of such
agreements has a high correlation to the price changes of the fuel being hedged.
Gains or losses on the fuel hedging agreements are recognized as a component of
fuel expense when the underlying fuel being hedged is used. Gains and losses on
the fuel hedging agreements would be recognized immediately should the changes
in the market value of the agreements cease to have a high correlation to the
price changes of the fuel being hedged. At March 31, 2000, the Company had two
fuel hedging agreements with a broker-dealer on approximately 95.6 million
gallons of fuel products, which represents 25% of its expected fuel needs
through the second quarter of 2000 and 15% of its expected fuel needs
thereafter through September 2004. The fair value of the Company's fuel hedging
agreements at March 31, 2000, representing the amount the Company would receive
upon termination of this agreement, totaled $0.4 million. If in the future, a
fuel swap agreement were terminated, any resulting gain or loss would be
deferred and amortized to fuel expense over the remaining life of the agreement.
A default by the broker-dealer to the swap agreement would expose the Company to
potential fuel price risk on the remaining fuel purchases in that the Company
would be required to purchase fuel at the current fuel price rather than at the
swap agreement exchange rate. The Company does not enter into fuel swap
contracts for trading purposes.

E.      Aircraft Purchase Commitments

The Company has contracted with Boeing for the purchase of 50 B717 aircraft for
delivery from 1999 to 2002 of which ten had been delivered as of March 31, 2000.
There can be no assurance that cash provided by operations will be sufficient to
meet the payments for the B717s. If the Company exercises its option to acquire
up to an additional 50 B717 aircraft, additional payments could be required
beginning in 2001. The Company expects to finance at least 85% of the cost of
each of these aircraft. The Company completed a private placement of $178.9
million, EETCs on November 3, 1999. The proceeds were used to purchase the first
ten B717 aircraft. The EETCs bear interest at 10.63% per annum and are payable
in semi-annual installments from April 17, 2000, through April 17, 2017. In
March 2000, the Company entered into a sale and leaseback transaction for two of
these B717 aircraft. Although Boeing has agreed to provide financing support
with respect to the remaining aircraft to be acquired, the Company will be
required to obtain the financing from other sources. The Company believes that
with the support to be provided by Boeing, aircraft-related debt financing
should be available when needed. However, there is no assurance that the Company
will be able to obtain sufficient financing on attractive terms, if at all. If
the Company is unable to secure acceptable financing, it could be required to
modify its aircraft acquisition plans or to incur higher than anticipated
financing costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations and cash flows.


F.      Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 4.1% for the first quarter of 2000. The
2000 rate results from the expected utilization of a portion of the Company's
$108 million net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards offset in part by the
application of the tax benefit related to the realization of a portion of the
Airways NOL carryforwards to goodwill. The Company has not recognized any
benefit from the use beyond first quarter 2000 of NOL carryforwards because
management's evaluation of all the available evidence in assessing the
realizability of tax benefits of such loss carryforwards indicates that the
underlying assumptions of future profitable operations contain risks that do not
provide sufficient assurance to recognize such tax benefits currently.

Summary

We recorded net income of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000
compared to net income of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999. Our operating income increased $2.8 million to operating income of $11.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, from operating income of $9.0
million in 1999.

Operating Revenues

Passenger revenues increased by 11.8% or $13.5 million primarily due to a
favorable pricing environment, strong economic conditions and our initiatives to
increase passenger revenue. We have implemented yield management strategies as
well as a published pricing strategy. We also continue to offer assigned
seating, a frequent flier program and business class seating.

Our yield (the average amount a passenger pays to fly one mile) increased by
5.6% to 15.0 cents, which increased revenue by $12.0 million over the first
quarter 1999. Yield increased over last year due in part to a 5.3% higher
average fare. Our traffic, or revenue passenger miles (RPMs), increased 44.3
million or 5.5% on a capacity increase, or available seat mile (ASM), or 0.2% or
2.1 million. The increase in load factor of 3.2 points increased passenger
revenue by $5.9 million from the same period in 1999. However, we continue to
experience aggressive competition that could negatively impact future loads and
yields.

Cargo and other revenue decreased 30.1% or $1.0 million due to a decrease in
U.S. Mail capacity and passenger service fees.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $9.7 million or 8.7% compared to the first quarter
of 1999. Our operating cost per ASM increased 8.4% to 9.0 cents from 8.3 cents
a year ago primarily as a result of increased fuel costs and salaries, wages and
benefits. Salaries, wages and benefits increased $4.6 million or 16.4% due
primarily to contractual labor rate and seniority increases negotiated in 1998
between the Company and its three major union represented labor groups and an
increase in overall headcount. Aircraft fuel increased year over year by $15.3
million 110.9% primarily due to a 115.2% increase in average fuel prices
partially offset by a 2.1% decrease in fuel consumption. Maintenance, materials
and repairs decreased 37.3% or $9.2 million due to five fewer check lines and
eight fewer engine overhauls compared to first quarter 1999. Marketing and
advertising decreased $0.8 million in print advertising and $0.3 million in
radio advertising compared to first quarter 1999. Aircraft rent increased $0.6
million or 41.5% due to the sale and leaseback of seven DC-9 aircraft, offset by
the return of 5 B737 aircraft in 1999. Depreciation expense decreased 30.6% or
$2.2 million primarily due to the impairment loss recorded in 1999 related to
the DC-9 fleet offset by the delivery of ten B717 aircraft. Other operating
expenses increased $1.0 million due to the increases in passenger service
charges as a result of more passengers offset by a $1.1 million decrease in bad
debt expense resulting from improved controls to limit credit card chargebacks.

Non-operating Expenses

Interest expense, net, increased 59.0% or $3.3 million compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The increase is due to the issuance of $178.9
million of enhanced equipment trust certificates ("EETCs") in the fourth quarter
of 1999. Capitalized interest during the quarter was $1.7 million compared to
$1.5 million during the same quarter of 1999.

Our effective tax rate was 4% and 12% for the first quarter of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The 2000 rate results from the expected utilization of a portion
of our $108 million net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards offset in part by
the application of the tax benefit related to the realization of a portion of
the Airways NOL carryforward to goodwill. We have not recognized any benefit
from the use beyond first quarter 2000 of NOL carryforwards because management's
evaluation of all the available evidence in assessing the realizability of tax
benefits of such loss carryforwards indicates that the underlying assumptions of
future profitable operations contain risks that do not provide sufficient
assurance to recognize such tax benefits currently.

Year 2000

In prior years, we discussed the nature and progress of our plans to become Year
2000 ready. In late 1999, we completed our remediation and testing of systems.
As a result of those planning and implementation efforts, we experienced no
significant disruptions in mission critical information technology and
non-information technology systems and believe those systems successfully
responded to the Year 2000 date change. We expensed approximately $800,000
during 1999 in connection with remediating our systems. We are not aware of any
material problems resulting from Year 2000 issues, either with our internal
systems or the products and services of third parties. We will continue to
monitor our mission critical computer applications and those of our suppliers
and vendors throughout the year 2000 to ensure that any latent Year 2000 matters
that may arise are addressed promptly.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We rely primarily on operating cash flows to provide working capital. We have no
lines of credit or other credit facilities. As of March 31, 2000, we had cash
and cash equivalents of $74.3 million compared to $58.1 million at December 31,
1999 and working capital of $3.0 million compared to a working capital deficit
of $7.3 million at December 31, 1999. We generally must satisfy all of our
working capital expenditure requirements from cash provided by operating
activities, from external capital sources or from the sale of assets.
Substantial portions of our assets have been pledged to secure various issues of
our outstanding indebtedness. To the extent that the pledged assets are sold,
the applicable financing agreements generally require the sales proceeds to be
applied to repay the corresponding indebtedness. To the extent that our access
to capital is constrained, we may not be able to make certain capital
expenditures or to continue to implement certain other aspects of our strategic
plan, and we may therefore be unable to achieve the full benefits expected
therefrom. Based on the favorable economic conditions of the U.S. airline
industry, we expect to be able to generate positive working capital through our
operations; however, we cannot predict whether the current



                                      11




<PAGE>

favorable economic trends and conditions will continue, or the effects of
competition or other factors, such as increased fuel prices, that are beyond our
control.

As of March 31, 2000, cash and cash equivalents increased from December 31, 1999
by $16.2 million. Operating activities generated $7.8 million in cash. Investing
activities used cash of $1.1 million primarily related to the purchase of two
B717 aircraft, offset by the usage of the remaining prefunded proceeds of the
EETC. Financing activities provided cash of $9.5 million in connection with the
sale and leaseback of two B717 aircraft offset by the related long-term debt
payments.

As of March 31, 2000, our operating fleet consisted of 35 DC-9 aircraft, four
B737 aircraft and ten B717 aircraft. We returned five leased B737 aircraft and,
in addition to seven aircraft sold and leased back (which remain in our
operating fleet), we sold six Stage 2 DC-9 and grounded one B737 aircraft during
1999.

We have contracted with Boeing for the purchase of 50 B717 aircraft for delivery
from 1999 to 2002 of which ten had been delivered as of March 31, 2000. There
can be no assurance that cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet
the payments for the B717s. If we exercise our option to acquire up to an
additional 50 B717 aircraft, additional payments could be required beginning in
2001. We expect to finance at least 85% of the cost of each of the these
aircraft. We completed a private placement of $178.9 million, EETCs on November
3, 1999. The proceeds were used to purchase the first ten B717 aircraft. The
EETCs bear interest at 10.63% per annum and are payable in semi-annual
installments from April 17, 2000, through April 17, 2017. Although Boeing has
agreed to provide financing support with respect to the remaining aircraft to be
acquired, we will be required to obtain the financing from other sources. We
believe that with the support to be provided by Boeing, aircraft-related debt
financing should be available when needed. However, there is no assurance that
we will be able to obtain sufficient financing on attractive terms, if at all.
If we are unable to secure acceptable financing, we could be required to modify
our aircraft acquisition plans or to incur higher than anticipated financing
costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations
and cash flows.

As of March 31, 2000, our debt related to asset financing totaled $227.1
million, with respect to which aircraft and certain other equipment are pledged
as security. Included in such amount is $80.0 million of 10.50% Senior Secured
Notes under which interest is payable semi-annually and the $143.0 million of
10.63% enhanced equipment trust certificates, of which a portion of interest and
principal is payable semi-annually. In addition, we have $150.0 million of
10.25% Senior Notes outstanding with interest payable semi-annually. The entire
principal amount of the Senior Notes ($150.0 million) and Senior Secured Notes
($80.0 million) will become due on April 15, 2001. We do not expect to generate
sufficient cash flow from operations to repay all $230.0 million of such debt by
its due date. Accordingly, we will likely to need to refinance all or a portion
of the outstanding debt through additional equity or debt offerings or a
combination thereof. The ability to refinance our debt depends on our future
performance and financial results. Such results are subject to general economic,
financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors that are, to
some extent, beyond our control. All or our debts has final maturities ranging
from 2000 to 2017.


                                      12
<PAGE>

Certain other debt bears interest at rates ranging from 5.85% to 11.67% per
annum and is repayable in consecutive monthly or quarterly installments over a
four- to seven-year period. One of these notes, with an aggregate unpaid
principal balance of approximately $1.0 million as of March 31, 2000, has a
variable rate of interest based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
plus 1.50% to 3.73%.

Due to the competitive nature of the airline industry, in the event of any
increase in the price of jet fuel, there can be no assurance that we would to be
able to pass on increased fuel prices to our customers by increasing fares.

New Accounting Standards

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. SFAS
No. 133 is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2000. We are currently
evaluating SFAS No. 133 and have not yet determined its impact on the
consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Market Risk
-------  ----------------------------------------

For discussion of certain market risks related to the Company, see Part I Item,
7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks", in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1999.  As of April 1, 2000, the Company has hedged approximately 19% of its
projected 2000 fuel requirements.  The approximate amount of fuel hedged by
quarter for the remainder of the year is as follows:

Second Quarter     25%
Third Quarter      15%
Fourth Quarter     15%

There have been no significant developments with respect to derivatives or
exposure to market risk since the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.



                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.
-------  ------------------

Of the numerous lawsuits that were filed against the Company seeking damages
attributable to those on Flight 592, two remaining cases are being pursued in
state courts in Florida and Texas. The Company believes that the $750 million
coverage available with respect to these claims will be sufficient to cover all
claims arising from the accident, which occurred in May 1996. As all claims are
handled independently by the Company's insurance carrier, the Company cannot
reasonably estimate the amount the liability that may finally exist. As a
result, no accruals for losses and the related claim for recovery from the
Company's insurance carrier have been reflected in the Company's financial
statements. There can be no assurance that the total amount of judgments and
settlements will not exceed the amount of insurance available therefor or that
all damages awarded will be covered by insurance.

On October 1, 1999, the Company filed suit in the Superior Court of Gwinnett
County, Georgia, against United States Aviation Underwriters, Inc. and United
States Aviation Insurance Group for declaratory relief and damages based on
claims of breach of contract and tortious breach of covenant of good faith and
fair dealing for matters involving litigation related to Flight 592.

From time to time, the Company is engaged in other litigation arising in the
ordinary course of its business.  The Company does not believe that any such
pending litigation will have a material adverse effect of operations of
financial condition.
