So, if you're an economist, why would you be looking to invest in airline stocks? With your grasp of the economy, I'd think you'd be better served investing in sectors with better margins...like weight-loss companies or the porn industry.
But be careful, if you can find your way to losing $billions in the airline industry, you might find yourself a career in airline management...or government!
Just a thought...
