He doesn't hold on to them forever but he doesn't buy a company, flip it and then sell right away.
Buffett buys and holds on for quite some time and when he does sell, he will sell off small portions over time to not alarm people (mass selling) and in turn destroy the company.

Warren Buffet just dumped $900 million worth of Walmart stock all at once. Traders and investors could care less about the well being of a company. Let's not be so naive

The article just said he paid over 26 billion for BNSF and AAL's market cap is just under 24. BRK's market cap is 417 billion. Would you own 6% AAL in your portfolio and consider is a unsuitable risk? And Buffett is worth enough to afford any one of the legacies personally, let alone BRK.

He owns BNSF which is far more important to the economy than AA.

He trades in the public markets like anyone else.

Doubt it.
People need to get places to facilitate commerce-just as coal and iron ore do.
The economy would take a massive dump if either one were to falter.
Apples and oranges-but AA is the world's largest airline-saying that it is less important than some airline doesn't make it so.
