Regional airlines near bankruptcy warn of industry collapse
Washington reports nine local carriers led by Air West and Piedmont face $33.3 million annual losses and $532 million in long term debt. DOT says debt payments could consume most cash flow this year and beyond, signaling possible bankruptcy without revenue gains. Major trunk lines may profit if capacity is trimmed, while locals struggle with high borrowing costs for equipment.

FTC pushes crackdown on deceptive food ads
The FTC filed proposed consent orders against Swift's baby foods and Ocean Spray cranberry juice for false advertising. Swift claimed its foods prevent colds and aid sleep though not pure meat nor as nutritious as milk. Ocean Spray touted its juice as more nutritious than orange or tomato juice, while being mainly water. The agency seeks past-deception admissions from Ocean Spray and did not require Swift to admit, fearing impact on its business.
