ALK is at a 52 week low.
 
Investors are waiting for all these merger synergies to show in the balance sheet. Despite other airlines being up in recent trading, including those impacted by the Max being grounded, ALK is still down.

It would seem that investors are as fed up as employees in listening to executives carry on about the merger paying off.

I don't think we've seen the bottom yet.

If it gets low enough, somebody might buy a lot of it...

Well, to be fair, nobody is “making” you work here so, “enslaved”, is a bit inaccurate. Not to burst your bubble but this is the same roller coaster ride the stock took last year and no buyer in sight.

True, but you can’t expect a bunch of senior FOs to just pop smoke either. Not everyone has that ability.

And to counter what you said about the stock? It wasn’t this low last year. I think if I remember correctly we are at a 3 year low now....it’s peak was north of 100.

That said, nothing would’ve happened last year anyway....the merger wasn’t complete and no airline is gonna merge with an airline that was in the middle of SLI arbitration.

I think this industry is gonna look drastically different in the next 5 years.

We didn’t need 10 domestic cell phone carriers 10 years ago.....do we need 10 domestic airlines? I don’t think so.

Check back in July, ALK is going no where. I would bet the stock will be trading solidly at $70-85

Flyboy8784 03-21-2019 02:47 PM

I certainly hope so. What makes you think it’s gonna shoot up that high?

Shy of a merger announcement....I’m not sure what could do that?

If you were a senior legacy VX Captain, then you are trapped in this godforsaken merger and you are indeed a "hostage". We can only hope and pray for the next merger, as this pathetic AS CBA is indeed the equivalent of slavery.


Proudly NOT Boeing.




Cheers- Rob.


P.S. The stock is at a 5 year low.

Right... real slaves willing died trying to flee slavery, you guys can’t even be troubled to fill out an application. It’s sad the idiots on the VX side would pose such a comparison and any would agree.... sad
