But few analysts are betting that the Houston-based carrier will become healthy, at least any time soon. “I know what Continental wants to do, and they know what they want to do, but how they get there, I don’t think anyone knows,” airline industry analyst Mark Daugherty at Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., said. Continental must improve service, control rising fuel costs, reduce debt arid clean up its heavily leveraged balance sheet to look better to investors, Daug herty said. “How they do that in this envi ronment is very difficult,” he told the Dallas Morning News in Sun day’s editions. Continental, like other airlines, is struggling with jet fuel prices that have more than doubled since the Aug. 2 invasion of Ku wait — adding an extra $80 mil lion to Continental's operating costs in October alone — and a budding recession that threatens to keep travelers at home. The difficulty of its task be came evident after word leaked out Oct. 23 that Continental had considered seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Continental now is talking about selling assets to raise cash, including possibly some or all of its international routes or one of its smaller hubs.

Madison HOUSTON (AP) — Witnesses to last year’s explosion at the Phillips 66 Co. Pasadena plant are telling attor neys the company had a pattern of inconsistent safety practices and skimpy training for contractors, according to published reports. The Houston Chronicle reported Sunday that dozens of witnesses still must be deposed about the Oct. 23, 1989 explosion that killed 23 work ers, injured more than 130 others and caused more than $ 1 billion damage to the plant. But, the news paper reported, a review of testi mony already given is painting an unflattering picture for the com pany. Contract workers and top-level managers said: — There was little safety training for contract workers. Safety manuals were distributed after the blast, re pairmen for the reactor were never told how it worked and safety in structions were not provided in Spanish even though nearly half of the contracted employees did not speak English. — There was an unreliable warn ing system inside the plant. Some employees did not know what they were supposed to do when they heard a series of warning alarms or horns and there were no flashing lights for people inside the control room where it was difficult to hear the alarms. Officials said 14 of the 23 workers killed were in the control In a m unday war” rat Europea he host; [raq allia “Iraq Iraq’s ini news < Iraq’s an hree me “We a — The plant did not have an abso lutely foolproof system to disarm machinery. The plant did not use padlocks to guard vital valves and other control equipment while main tenance was under way and vibra tions from the reactor often made a key valve fall off. — Phillips didn’t color-code the hoses that provided air to open and close the Demco block valve used to block gases from the reactor during repairs. on any < dangero Iraq a number duty.
