While several troubled rivals are selling planes and cutting service, McGee said his company has ordered 50 midsize Airbus A320 jetliners and has taken options to acquire 50 more (total cost: $3.5 billion).

The Reagan Administration immediately struck back, imposing 100% tariffs on $100 million worth of West German hams, Italian tomatoes and other foods.
