You keep dreaming.
SWA has been buying back stock for years. Gary Kelly spent $12.5B on buybacks instead of investing in the company infrastructure. There’s nothing new about them since Elliot showed up…same story, different day.

November monthly operating report published.

Net loss for November was $72M. Cash burn was $48M. Negative 24.6% profit margin for November. 2024 full year profit margin was negative 22% so it hasn't gotten any better. This is after about 94 total lease rejections that were targeted to be returned by October 27th. Cash burn was less, but the $50M DIP gives them another month.

Cash burn is lower because of the parking of planes, (monthly revenue down 28% since August).

how do they suck so much? Wild that even after shedding all the leases and expensive planes, they can even push the needle in the right direction.

If this is November, then Jan and Feb will be the final nail if no merger.

WRONG - They didn't burn any cash, they didn't draw from the DIP and actually added cash and were cash flow positive. Most of their losses for November were directly tied to their bankruptcy expenses. Two months of positive cash flows and zero DIP draws.
