Thursday, December 30, 2010, 2:52 PM Delta Air Lines (DAL -1.2%), JetBlue (JBLU +0.4%) and AirTran (AAI +0.1%) say they’ve rebooked most passengers stranded by the NYC snowstorm, but they might be less lucky if the same type of storm hits next month when business travel picks up. Downsizing means the airlines lack excess aircraft to pick up slack and move more passengers. 1 Comment

Sunday, October 10, 2010, 3:09 PM There's plenty of reasons to love Southwest (LUV), including its AirTran (AAI) deal and rebounding earnings, but YCharts points out that "Southwest is a great company in a crummy industry... and while being smarter than the rest of the class ought to mean that one sets the curve, in airlines and some other industries, it’s hard to rise above the dullards."

Wednesday, September 29, 2010, 12:04 PM The "Southwest Effect" - where the discount airline (LUV) moves into a new market and cuts fares to compete - may have to be put on hold in its purchase of AirTran (AAI), which generally prices its fares lower than Southwest. Some costly integration is ahead, and industry consolidation is leading naturally to higher fares, analysts say. Comment!
