Louis Kincannon

As an industry we feel it is not a good precedent to fund a government program.

Tony Fernandes

Clearly, a failure to address our nation's agriculture labor crisis would cripple our state's No. 1 industry.

Jeff Joerres

As a journalist, I was covering the industry and learning the technology and that always meant finding out the history, too, ... It's intriguing.

Bruce Wells

One of the most important factors in collective bargaining is establishing that the employer can afford the union's demands. The hotel industry will have a hard time making a case that it can't.

Flattening orders and improving leading edge capacity utilization ? the industry is clearly entering the trough.

Brett Hodess

They're hungry for information. As an industry, and as a specific carrier, I need to give my shippers that information, too.

This bill attempts to tax one industry for the benefit of another industry. It is simply not good public policy.

Rep. Lou Lang

It's a multimillion-dollar industry. It can feed a lot of people.

Tony Berardo

Today is as foggy as it's ever been in our industry.

Harry Balzer

I am determined to use competition law to protect European industry and consumers.

Neelie Kroes

NOAA has said it wants a $5-billion-a-year U.S. aquaculture industry. What's the cumulative impact of that industry?

Rebecca Goldburg

I was quite encouraged. The main message is that it is looking a bit better for the industry.

Chris Tarry

Some of these fellows are CEOs. They're attorneys. They're doctors. They're big shots in industry. They have big egos. They have one of these contests and lose, you don't see them anymore.

Bruce Silverglade

This is certainly a low in the oyster industry in the state of Florida right now.

Casey Pace

Life change is the bread and butter of the self-storage industry.

Tim Dietz

This should be the beginning of the industry consolidation, not the end.

A threat to close the industry would have more of an effect than people would imagine.

Scott Worley

These are very difficult decisions to make, but are necessary because we are doing business in an extremely competitive automotive industry.

Nancy Stephens

It's a bill that has been driven largely by the music industry, so there's very little to address the concerns that I think the education community ought to have.

Michael Geist

It certainly is damaging to the industry as a whole. What it means is that there's this floating customer base. Every airline has to work harder to attract and retain customers.

Stuart Klaskin

The porn industry is a lot of fun and people shouldn't be afraid. The industry is only going to get bigger and more mainstream.

Johnna Long

One of the biggest issues for me is focusing on industry and making it attractive so that people will come here.

James Powers

Our industry has recurring revenues, it's pretty predictable.

Adam J. Wasserstein

We haven't done a good job of selling ourselves as a group. Unless we rally ourselves as an industry and fight for the best and the brightest, that will be the biggest challenge in coming decades.

With this EBITDA margin we have once again set a profitability benchmark in our industry.

Mike Heinz

One of the icons of the civil aviation industry is returning. It's the shot in the arm that the industry needs.

What that tells me is that Sonoma County was much less affected than the rest of the Bay Area by the decline in the high-tech industry.

John Goodwin

That is a unique thing to have in the furniture industry. It's all about instant gratification.

We need to tighten up so that all stakeholders in this industry do what they are supposed to do.

We believe this is a government-to-government issue and no one company and no one industry can handle it on its own.

If they could basically guarantee that the product would get in the hands of consumers in a more timely fashion, our industry would seriously consider user fees. But until we get those guarantees, it really amounts to nothing more than a tax.

Ryan Hamlin

They have no idea what's going on in industry.

Greg Aharonian

With the costs Maytag has, they've just become less and less competitive. This industry is so competitive and having appliances coming from China at a fraction of costs at Maytag and Whirlpool only adds to that.

The horse industry needs to be preserved and protected.

That's the nature of gaining experience in the industry.

Colin Kaminski

Anything that the industry does that is positive, our critics consider a ploy, and anything the industry does that they don't agree with is considered obstruction.

This is definitely part of a major trend in the industry.

It used to be 80 percent of the industry had a 14 hour duty day. But now most of that is gone. It's just gone.

Richard Cooper

He has better credentials than I do, but I know more about the industry. Put the two together, and we've got a credible report to give to community leaders.

Jim Watt

Developers have really always been Microsoft's core customer segment. The applications come from developers; they're the innovation engine for the industry. I can't overstate the importance of developers.

Chris Kelly

It is primarily music industry people, but we're distinctive in the type of event in that we also have a consumer component.

We carry out this competitive performance barometer for the airline industry each year.

Peter Miller

There's been lots of saber rattling. But when you completely dive into this, you realize we're helping the industry.
