         September 30, 1994 and 1993 and cash flows for the nine-month periods
         ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.  The accounting adjustments
         contained in the financial statements are of a normal recurring
         nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
         in 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 condensed
         consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
         audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
         included in the 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company
         under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on March 30, 1994.

2.       Results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended
         September 30, 1994 and  1993 are not necessarily indicative of the
         results to be expected for the year.

3.       The provisions for income taxes were computed at the estimated
         annualized  effective tax rates.  Effective January 1, 1993, the
         Company adopted FASB  Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income
         Taxes."  Under Statement 109, the liability method is used in
         accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets
         and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial
         reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
         using the enacted tax rates. As permitted by Statement 109, the
         Company elected not to restate the financial statements of any prior
         years. The cumulative effect of the change increased net income by
         $4,212,300 or $.12 per share for the nine months ended September 30,
         1993.

4.       Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common
         shares and common stock equivalents outstanding.

5.       Marketable securities, which consist of investments with maturity
         dates longer than three months, are stated at amounts that approximate
         market.

6.       Certain amounts as previously reported have been reclassified to
         conform to current year presentation.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Working capital increased to $147.1 million at September 30, 1994 from
$127.0 million at December 31, 1993 resulting in an improved current ratio of
3.6:1 compared with 3.3:1 at the end of 1993. The Company's cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities increased $19.5 million since the end of
1993. During the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Company generated
$69.8 million in cash from operations and had proceeds from long-term debt of
$43.8 million.  These cash inflows were offset by a $63.5 million investment in
property and equipment, $18.6 million of debt retirement, $8.2 million of
dividends paid and $4.2 million of treasury stock purchases. The Company has
available a $3 million unsecured line of credit with one of its banks. As of
September 30, 1994, a letter of credit for $895,000 was outstanding against
this line of credit.
         Total assets increased by $59.5 million to $534.1 million at September
30, 1994 primarily due to a $39.1 million increase in net property and
equipment. During the first nine months of 1994, the Company accepted delivery
of four ATR72 aircraft from the manufacturer. A majority of the purchase price
of these four aircraft was provided by bank financing. This debt will be repaid
over twelve years in semi-annual installments. These aircraft have been used to
enter a new market, replace two Dehavilland DHC-7 aircraft that were retired at
May 31, 1994 and increase capacity in existing markets. Current maturites of
long-term debt and other capital expenditures  for 1994 will be funded from the
Company's cash reserves and will not require the use of additional external
funds.
         In May 1994, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
$50 million of the Company's common stock on the open market.  The Company will
use part of its available cash balances to repurchase any such shares. The
stock repurchased will be used for compensation programs or other general
corporate purposes.  The Company had repurchased 170,000 shares of 
its common stock on the open market as of September 30, 1994 and 752,500 shares 
of its common stock as of November 8, 1994.
         The long-term debt to equity ratio was .62:1 at September 30, 1994
compared with .6:1 at December 31, 1993. Long-term debt increased to $158.7
million from $136.0 million at the end of 1993. The Company added $41.1 million
of long-term debt associated with new aircraft financing, paid $18.6 million of
scheduled debt payments and reclassified $0.2 million from current maturities.
         Shareholders' equity per share increased to $7.45 at September 30,
1994 from $6.55 at the end of 1993. Net worth increased $29.8 million primarily
due to net income of $41.4 million in the first nine months of 1994 offset by
dividends paid of $8.2 million and treasury stock purchases of $4.2 million.
         The Company anticipates that Delta Air Lines, Inc. may increase certain
marketing related costs associated with the Delta Connection program.  These
increased costs are expected to be implemented during 1995.  The Company is
also discussing with Delta Air Lines the possiblity of providing replacement 
and supplemental service to several markets from the Atlanta and Dallas/Fort 
Worth hubs.  The Company cannot assess the impact that these possible changes 
may have on future operating results.

Results of Operations
For the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993

         The Company reported record third quarter revenues, net income and
traffic.  Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1994 was $12.5
million or $.37 per share compared with $12.4 million or $.36 per share for
1993.

         The number of passengers carried increased 17 percent and the average
trip length increased two percent for a 20 percent increase in revenue
passenger miles ("RPMs") flown.  This increase in RPMs, offset by an 11 percent
decrease in the average passenger mile yield to $.382 from $.428, resulted in a
seven percent increase in passenger revenue to $78.4 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 1994. Continued fare discounting in about 20 markets served
from the Company's Atlanta hub was the major factor which contributed to the 
Company's reduced yield.  There can be no assurance that fare discounting will 
not continue to be a factor in the future.
         During the third quarter of 1994, the Company began service to
Lynchburg, Virginia from its Atlanta hub on July 1st and to Monroe, Louisiana
from its Dallas/Fort Worth hub on September 12th.
          Operating expenses increased approximately 16 percent in the third
quarter of 1994 compared with the same period last year. The Company increased
capacity (available seat miles "ASM's") by 21 percent and experienced a four
percent decrease in cost per ASM flown to $.137 in the third quarter of 1994
compared to $.143 in the third quarter of 1993.  The following table compares
components of operating cost per ASM and operating expense as a percentage of
total operating expense for the three month periods ended September  30, 1994
and 1993:

</TABLE>

         Labor and related costs increased to $17.0 million for the third
quarter of 1994 compared to $13.0 million for the same period in 1993.  The
average number of employees for the third quarter of 1994 was 2,167, an
increase of 12 percent over 1,939 for the same period in 1993.  Included in the
third quarter of 1993 is a $1.7 million credit to expense associated with the
Company's stock appreciation rights ("SARs") plan versus a $.1 million charge
for the same period this year. This reversal of previously accrued expense in
the third quarter of 1993 resulted from a decrease in the Company's stock
price.
         Fuel expense decreased to $.014 per ASM for the third quarter of 1994
compared to $.016 per ASM for the same period in 1993. Fuel expense went up $.4
million spread over a 21 percent increase in ASM's. The average price per



                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10
gallon decreased four percent to $.617 from $.641 while total fuel consumption
increased 12 percent.
         Direct maintenance cost, excluding labor and related expenses,
increased nine percent to $9.9 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1994.  This increase was due primarily to a 21 percent increase in capacity and
an increase in the timing for scheduled maintenance inspections and overhauls
of time controlled components.
         Depreciation and aircraft rent increased 17 percent to $9.0 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 1994. This increase was due primarily to
depreciation expense associated with the four aircraft which were acquired in
1994 as well as a full quarter of rent expense on the four aircraft acquired in
the third quarter of 1993.
         The break-even load factor increased to 35.1% for the three months
ended September 30, 1994 compared to 32.8% for the same period last year. This
increase was primarily the result of lower passenger yield only partially
offset by lower cost per ASM. Both of these components were discussed above.
         Approximately $1.4 million of additional income tax expense was
recorded in the third quarter of 1993 resulting from the retroactive increase
in the corporate tax rate from 34% to 35% required by the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993

         Passenger revenue increased 13 percent to $232.3 million in the first
nine months of 1994 primarily due to a 28 percent increase in RPMs offset by a
12 percent decrease in the average yield per passenger mile to $.399 from
$.453.  The number of passengers carried increased 23 percent to 2.3 million
passengers in the first nine months of 1994. The average passenger trip length
increased five percent to 250 miles in 1994 from 239 miles in 1993.
         Operating expenses increased 11 percent during the nine month period
ended September 30, 1994. The Company increased capacity ("ASM's") by 29
percent and experienced a 14 percent decrease in the cost per ASM to $.138 from
$.160.  The following table compares components of operating cost per ASM and
operating expense as a percentage of total operating expense for the nine month
periods ended September  30, 1994 and 1993:

         Labor and related costs decreased to $44.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994 from $50.0 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1993. The average number of employees over the first nine months of 1994
was 2,147, an increase of 14 percent over 1,883 for the same period in 1993.
Included in the first nine months of 1993 was $9.0 million of expense
associated with the Company's stock appreciation rights plan, for which
expenses are accrued based on increases in the Company's stock price. The first
nine months of 1994 included a $3.5 million credit which resulted from a 
decrease in the Company's stock price and reversed previously accrued expenses 
associated with stock appreciation rights.
         Fuel expense decreased to $.014 per ASM for the nine months ending
September 30, 1994 compared to $.017 for the same period in 1993.  Fuel expense
went up $1.2 million spread over a 29 percent increase in ASM's. The average
price per gallon decreased nine percent to $.616 from $.679 while total fuel
consumption increased 18 percent.
         Direct maintenance cost, excluding labor and related expenses,
increased 17 percent to $26.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1994. This increase was due primarily to a 29 percent increase in capacity and
an increase in  the timing for scheduled maintenance inspections and overhauls
of time controlled components.
         Depreciation and aircraft rent increased 34 percent to $26.3 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. This increase was due primarily
to depreciation associated with the four aircraft which were acquired in 1994
as well as a full nine months of rent expense in 1994 for the eight aircraft
acquired during the second and third quarters of 1993.
