Have run across regional profitability performance data for the US Major in 3Q07.

Some interesting stuff jumped out at me;
a) Extremely strong margins for CO on its International operations.
b) Meager DL margins to Europe and Latin America where it has placed so much importance on
c) Latin America might not be as big cash cow to AA as one assumes. Europe almost ecliples in total revenue, and has near double operating margins.
d) First year I've seen UA's Atlantic division eclipse Pacific in margins.
