I believe Berkshire is working on Southwest at the moment, will be interesting to watch.
For whatever reasons airline stocks are back "in vogue" so you know what that means.

According to friends working there, that rumor has been floating around for years. They own stock in SWA (as they do in several airlines) but supposedly there's no interest in buying SWA outright, they already own Netjets.

In a few years Delta will be a $100 billion dollar asset company, that can be purchased for $20 billion in the next recession. Any hedge fund that is struggling with capital will be forced to buy these airlines, and sell of the pieces to raise cash.

This theory ignores the almost certain drop in profits and increase in debt during the same recession thus making Delta less valuable and more expensive for those raiders.

Actually, that's what makes them cheaper for the raiders. This has happened so many times through the years, that it is considered part of the normal airline business cycle.
