Could be the same story for all airlines and all stocks in general--means nothing without more relative context

I just looked at net capital inflows for 1st quarter 2017--roughly 500 million net inflows of capital, including some chunks from institutional investors. That's vastly more than past quarters.

I have observed a phoenominon. For 15 years now. At a former airline......and now here.
Leadership making bizarre descisions. Seemingly inept. The employees, desperate to explain the root cause of these, believe there is "something up". Or "a master plan". The closest term I could find was Hanlon's razor....."Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"
This doesn't quite explain it. So I have named it after myself.
Coopervane's razor "when leadership makes seemingly illogical, ignorant, even seemingly stupid descisions and front line employees assume it is because of some hidden plan to eventually benefit them and the company........when it is actually incompetence and/or greed"

Just to stir the pot some more...Frontier is due for an IPO at any time now. Last reports were an IPO as early as 2nd quarter this year which ended 3 days ago. Frontier is ripe for the taking.
Also recently heard we're now training their pilots and FA's at JBU. Anyone else that can corroborate that?

If it were a merger, we would have heard about it before they cancelled all FA classes. Think about it, how long ago did AK buy VX? How long did VX hire after that? How long before any major operational changes take place at those companies?
