JetBlue Gears Up for More Stock Buybacks
https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/...-buybacks.aspx
What is the benefit of doing another stock buyback?
What is the benefit of doing another stock buyback?
- Will this benefit the domestic and upcoming/mythical EU expansion?
- Will this provide more cash to give employees profit sharing so I can buy that Xbox360?
- Will this accelerate the purchasing of more aircraft?
- Will this liberate more money to make aircraft bleedless to truly solve the fumes problem experienced on almost every flight (even though most Captains never actually write it up)?
- Will this only benefit shareholders and board members?

Except they are floating more leverage in the near future with another offering.

They’re creeping up on $1Billion in buybacks. I’m still stymied by the fact we grew from 1999-2008 into the 5th largest airline in the US. The worst of economic times. Here we are stagnating from 2011-Present in the most favorable of economic times. My profit sharing has decreased -79% in 2017 to -98% in 2018 when compared to 2016.
How can I validate my worth as a valued employee when the company has made more net profit in 2017, 2018 respectively and compared to 2016 net profits. Culture? More like lies.
