摘要

By mid-2001, airline and aerospace executives knew they were in trouble. The economy was slowing. Overall air travel and high-yield business traffic were declining. As a result, the airlines were forecasting losses of up to $2.5 billion. Then came September 11. Last summer's "downdraft in business travel and yields" was bad enough, recalls Robert W. Baker, vice-chairman of American Airlines Inc., "but 9-11 finished us off." If the terrorist attacks decimated commercial airlines, they have had the opposite impact on America's defense contractors. Virtually overnight, downward pressures on the defense budget evaporated. Industry optimists now predict that the real jackpot will come in February, when the Pentagon is slated to unveil spending priorities for the next five years.
