How would a split accomplish that? The market cap is still the same. Not necessarily disagreeing, just curious how the mechanics of a stock split could effect an acquisition scenario. Is there precedence for stock splits prior to consolidation events?
Here's the most pertinent part of the filing: The company intends to finance the stock repurchases with cash on hand. The repurchase program authorizes Air Group to buy its common stock from time to time through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or other means, including accelerated share repurchases and 10b5-1 trading plans in accordance with applicable securities laws. Alaska Air Group has repurchased 8.3 million shares of its common stock for nearly $262 million through similar programs over the past five years. Cheers George |
Interesting!
So who is the potential dance partner? |

I mean don't get me wrong, IAH in the Brasilia was fun in all, I mean who doesn't want to spend all day, of a 110 degree day, taking an airplane with fire spitting APU that never cooled anything back and forth from IAH-HOU or EFD? |

FTB,
The ATR was such a far, far, superior airplane to the E120. It amazed me how two aircraft designed about the same time could be so remarkably different. Perhaps it was because we had the first E120's, but ours tended to do some really dramatic stuff and not in a good way. |

In theory it isn't cheaper, but there will be more shares outstanding making it easier for someone to increase the number of shares they own. I know if you do a reverse stock split it decreases the risk of a takeover. Doing a split can make it easier for a takeover because there will be more shares available to buy although the value of the corporation will still be the same.

Follow I85 to MGM and if granny didn't have a heat stroke it was a good trip. |
I think I'm going to like this bidding for short call thing. I put in to be used first for SC, and I'm already done with my 6 for the month... without being called, either.
The new system should enable me to throttle that up and get done even earlier in the month. The ATL 320 has no one in raw group 2... it seems 80 is a bit too high. |

They hit hard on the first touch down, bounced and porpoised, hit about as hard on a second touchdown with a similar result, and then finally pancaked into the runway for the 3rd and final touchdown. We were hooting and hollering watching this transpire... "Come on! You've got one more bounce in you!" There likely was not a single unquenched set of butt cheeks on that plane. |

More shares controlled by the company = more control for any financial transactions that require shareholder approval... Cheers george |
