yeah the worst thing you can do is invest money in an economic downturn in your own airline. Lots of guy at United tried that after 9/11 ended up losing life savings and their job.

Gary Kelly is discussing the possibility of parking airplanes, furloughs, deferring MAX deliveries, and how they can conserve cash. I don't think they're buying anyone anytime soon.

USAir American 2010 bad stock market and prior USAir AW 2005 bad stock market

united traded at $10.38 2 months after 9/11. Today it’s at $48. 2000 share purchase then would have quadrupled your investment 19.5 years later . That’s after the Great Recession, bankruptcy , $5 gas and dragging someone off a plane PR fiasco... people can run for the hills now .warren buffet is right . Solid companies with solid balance sheets , are prudent investments. Especially at these prices.

If southwest buys Spirit, it will be under 10 dollars a share. If you want to see where airline stocks are going check out a chart of a cruise ship stock.

Maybe technically true but they did send out furlough notices. It did not happen because the union said if they did not furlough they would lower min guarantee.
