TransWorld....You are right. Staying in the market is wise. But you would be in a natural low right now but for government interference.
The simple point is this, Alaska Airlines stock price is not an indication of their monetary health and stability. It should be 12-15 dollars a share and Americans should be a penny stock. That would be an accurate view of the airline business. No one is saying stay out of the market just don't base your future plans on the price of an airline stock if you work for that airline.
