Have you seen the % increase on fuel burn on those things though? Highest I've seen so far is +6.5%.

I actually think Doug & Co. have lost their frugalness. $3 bil in stock buy back when it's at an all time high while taking on more debt?!?...why not just pay down debt and improve the balance sheet. It will make the stock go up more than purchasing it.
I agree. Last time my CEO bought back a couple billion worth of stock we were in a CHP 11 a few years later and lost our pension.

I guess they forgot about those auction rate securities (think that's what they were5)they lost on a few Years ago.

I don't think airline stocks are a solid investment.
