I know a pilot for Southwest, they are still being paid but hasn't flown since 3/1. He's a senior pilot.
May not mean anything but he said avoid Delta and AA they will be filing bankruptcy, but LUV will be ok, and UAL (United) should be ok

Didn't buy much but got in at 31.
Never, ever take investing advice from a pilot!
I don't see the amount of flyers changing even after the economy "opening."

Take a step back, at face value paying people to not work is unsustainable, no?
U thinking price drops significantly after 4/24 earnings report? Was thinking of a 5/1 put order... what y'all think?
in 160 shares at $31.01.
Long term hold or me. They've been $45 or higher for 3+ years.

Hey I'm not buying airlines. Not right now atleast.
Still think too high all thinks relative.
Waiting for 20s. Oh btw, bought round trip to Vegas for $90.
What caused them to rocket upward in late 2016? Right now we're just a little below their range in 2015-2016, and still way above where they were in 2012.
I just saw this deal. Catching the last direct flight of the day is $45 one way. Nice!Bocephus said:

Every domestic flight on frontier right now is $11 (that's a $.01 fare plus gov. taxes) every day of the week. You got hosed.Carlo4 said:I just saw this deal. Catching the last direct flight of the day is $45 one way. Nice!Bocephus said:

Yeah, well, sometimes nothing is a real cool hand
Got this email this morning and was pretty pumped as I have both companion pass and a list. Companion pass alone was worth a couple thousand for me last year with the wife coming along for some trips. If I had to bet on an airline to come out of this thing it would be SW.
I know quite a few who got in yesterday in the 30.XX range. Excited!
Intraday Head & Shoulder. See if it holds or fails. Since printing this intraday chart its come back but still above right shoulder lows.
Doubling down at $30
Got in at $28.50 yesterday.
In at 31.00
Waiting for 19

Not stock-related, but does anyone see any reason to not take advantage of the following?
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Travel InformationQuote:
We have also added a new benefit for our valued Rapid Rewards Members. Those Members who have travel funds that are set to expire or funds that are created between March 1, 2020 and September 7, 2020 will have the option to convert those travel funds into Rapid Rewards points at the same rate you would be able to purchase a ticket with points today. We hope this provides our Members ultimate flexibility as Rapid Rewards points never expire, never have cancel or change fees (fare difference may apply), and you can redeem your points for anyone you choose.

I agree with this. What's the upside to LUV here. The last five years have an average stock price of around ~$50 and current yield is 2.5%. A return to the last five-year average is a 66% increase not including yield. I think you can find just as good stock with less risk.JSKolache said:Never buy airlines EVERAggie_2463 said:culdeus said:Aggie_2463 said:

Hell, WFC, which I have been critical of, has the same return, fewer headwinds, and a 7% yield.
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others
It's the only airlines I trust. I bought it at 17 before the Wright amendment expired then sold in the 20s bc I got impatient. I then watched it climb to the 50s. A good company who regularly treats their employees well. Why not invest in that kind of business?

Airlines are just too happy to declare bankruptcy. I know Southwest is different but still. When the chips are down, they'll wipe out everything.
A couple things:
I agree LUV is the best of the airlines. (I would actually say Delta does a great job as well.) but even well run businesses file for bankruptcy all the time. Sometimes there are forces at play greater than what a good company can withstand.
Buying at $17 is a lot different than buying at $30. At $17 you have a lot more upside and the reward might outweigh the risk. I'm simply pointing out that at we are at $30 there are other stocks with less risk and equal if not greater reward.
ETA: Good companies aren't a binary choice.
