I'm afraid I'm not terribly well-informed about the financial stability of our competitors, but I feel compelled to point out that "larger" does not equal "more financially stable". (I used to work for Unisys -- I KNOW.) If you need examples, look at the airline industry. I daresay SouthWest Airlines is much more financially stable than most (possibly ANY) of the major US airlines, many of which have not turned a profit in years and some of which have filed for Chapter 11 restructuring.
