struggles
to improve
DALLAS (AP) — Passengers
who rely on Continental Airlines’
fares and service hope the Finan
cially-troubled carrier can over
come the immediate threat from
high fuel prices and more long
term danger from debt.
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.

Phillips plant accused
of poor safety pattern
Nerd House by Tom A. 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

— 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

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.
