I want the airlines to do well. I need them to go to and from tours. And I do not want my friends feeling pain at work. We're a large family/friend structure.
Bit, those of us know the downturn always follows the upswings. Usually, it's brought on by $100 barrel oil, not a financial downturn.
We all know what happens then... and it sucks. Not nearly as much for NJA as it does 121. The other factors mentioned previously have either reared their ugly heads before and there's track history on them or the writing is more or less on the wall.
I hate these truths as much as anyone should. Our differences lie in the fact that you don't seem to want to believe me. And it's fine. Time will teach.
All of those things you mention regarding Alaska... yeah... those are target rich environments for takeover.
Cash cash cash is king.

You want your perceived manifestation of a future downturn to come true so you can say "see told ya so!" which is quite perverse. Its insane really. And again, here come these pesky old facts again so brace yourself. Written history would disagree with you about NetJets being impervious to economic issues. An economic downturn is more likely than another terrorist attack, and NetJets is in no position to survive another market crash like 2008. So you can compare NetJets to 121 and not all airlines furloughed, but NetJets definitely did.
Management says things like "we aren't planning on furloughing" and "if we hired more we would have to furlough." You don't say those things to the worker bees if your balance sheet is solid. NetJets is on the rebound but they are probably the more vulnerable than they have ever been to any economic issues and clearly there are no plans to expand by management, they aren't able to hire and train, and pad staffing levels for future growth, those signs point to high vulnerability. Not saying there aren't airlines that are operating the exact same way, but you can't act like the NetJets s*&t don't stink.
