If the company is earning $2000 or (EPS of $10/share) prior to the buyback, the earnings on your shares are now higher ($13.33) because the share pool has been reduced. Your stake in the company is now worth much much more. Warren Buffett 101. Value investing. He LOVES stock buybacks of companies he owns.

It's not myopic, it's ancient history... But come on, you can't honestly discuss stock buyback without mentioning that little gem... it never gets old! |

If the new American pilots are being offered Delta +3% initially then whatever we get in 2 years, the AMR stuff is very pertinent to us. If the RUMOR is true and that's the offer, I wonder how we have been suckered into believing that we can and should only expect a small raise when Delta has been making money hands over fists compared to American and US Airways. If their merger goes through, maybe can see what a real imaginative pilot group comes up with for merely agreeing to a merger as opposed to what we get for actually implementing one successfully. |

binding... until its a windfall. And I'll let the court figure that one out. But the SLI doesnt just happen until the court rules (again) right? USAPA is history and USAir can get on with things. Both benefit from more revenue and a larger network and much of the consolidation/shrinkage can come out of regionals (not including their final growth spurt in the 88 seat market if the APA is dumb enough to fall for that). Ironically Parker needs another large merger to finally close the book on the last medium sized merger. Call their bluff on scope (they won't not merge over 88 seaters, which have no reason to be at a low baller anyway). I'm sure there will be another round of "DOH gold standard" lawsuits but they will be poorly funded and crushed in the courts as the new SLI is forced upon all with ease. |

The DALPA NC just collectively crapped their pants. And just think of the excuse our NC can give management: giving us a larger raise will actually HURT the competition even worse. Works for me. No excuses. |

If the stock was "fairly valued", a buyback will be a wash for the remaining stockholders. Each now owns a greater percentage of a company that is now "worth" less (because of what they had to spend buying back the other shares). Stock buybacks do make sense when Management thinks the stock is undervalued.
