There's a Reason There Is No Airline ETF [view article]
I don't know why you think airlines are that bad, I thiink they are great businesses and investments...ok ok ok I was just kidding...you're right they're awful. Maybe they'll make money if they charge $1500 from JFK to LAX, but then who's going to fly?? Not too many ppl, I guess that's their problem and they will continue losing money forever, but I'm no expert so I don't really know. ReplyAirlines Becoming Luxury Goods [view article]
Will US Air management be even happier with empty seats so the planes stay even cleaner and nicer? I have a sister-in-law who flies to various parts of the world on a weekly basis and US Air is her last choice of airlines. Crappy service and charges for the extras do not make loyal customers.

I know what the airlines are about. They want to lose money so they don't have to give the employees any benifits or raises. But the top dawgs got $285,000,000.00 in bonuses last year. Thats right six zeroes. Bonuses are supposed to be for good performance not for breaking the workers backs. I gave up a week of vacation, 5 sick days,5 holidays and 17% paycut to keep afloat. We are negotiating right now and the company does not want to give us a dime raise and they want to take away our retiree medical plan. Don'figure does it. Do not fly American Airlines..

We need a web site to just discourage airlines, period. They think they are untouchable and above common sense. ReplyAirlines Hedging Oil at $147.90/BL? [view article]
who would have guessed? At the time, there were articles predicting $300 oil. ReplyAirlines Hedging Oil at $147.90/BL? [view article]
Typical corp.propaganda "don't do what i do."They do this to their employees too..... ReplyAirlines Discover Supply & Demand [view article]
United's reasoning behind the new baggage charge just boggles my mind. "United (UAUA) has increased its second bag fee from $25 to $50 — blaming falling fuel prices."Someone explain to me why "cheaper fuel" should mean you have to pay "MORE".
Of course, I would never fly United unless I had absolutely NO other choice. Our kids got stuck with them several times while in college, and every single experience could only be described as HORRIBLE.
I fly a LOT (mostly American because I'm out of DFW), and it has gotten to be such a hassle that I almost dread it. I'm not generalizing, but I've had some of the rudest flight attendants on the face of the earth on DFW flights the last couple of years... and I usually fly first class so I assume maybe I'm getting "better" treatment than the folks back in coach? If so, I really feel badly for them. Reply
Airlines Discover Supply & Demand [view article]
Who cares? Flying thewse days is worse than going to a dentist, to be avoided at all costs. It was a pain to check bags even before the fees, so I never checked my bag anyway. However, the probelm has always been not enough overhead space, I am not sure how they are dealing with it now. ReplyAirlines Discover Supply & Demand [view article]
primescot1 -You may not like it, but you've made my point - you use more services than I do. Especially with a large and bulky item like golf clubs!
If you were shipping them, you'd expect to pay for that service. When I buy a ticket, I'm not purchasing shipment for a set of clubs - why should my ticket cost me more to pay for the service they give you?SW may not charge now, but they will eventually - because you're using an extra service.
Pay your own way! Reply

i'm a golf professional, so have NO choice in checking a second bag (my clubs). i just fly on SOUTHWEST unless i have no other choice. free checked bags, free ticket changes, rapid baggage retrieval, and efficient service. even if i have to make an extra stop.......they are the only airline that truly believes we have a choice.

I find the cartoon to be inappropriate, offensive, and misleading. The flying public should have a high regard for the men a women pilots that transport them safely on a daily basis. The cartoon depicts pilots in the wrong way. They do not set ticket prices as the picture suggests. ReplyAirlines Discover Supply & Demand [view article]
Checking a bag is a service, not an integral part of your ticket price. I fly 100,000 miles a year and rarely check a bag.If you're having an airline take fourteen changes of clothes for you and your entire family, you SHOULD pay for the privledge. It costs the airlines to transport your luggage - if you don't use that space, the airlines can certainly sell it to a shipper!

I think Southwest Airlines is the best stock anyone can hold. It is a wonderful company and has held up better than almost anyother company in the US. That includes all companies, not just airlines. Go Southwest Go. We love you! Replyey

This fiasco smells. Period.I believe this was the work of a hedge fund or major trader trying to close short positions on this stock and in this hot sector.
I believe an investigation needs to take place and if any malfeasance or illegalities are found fines, jail and lifetime disbarment from trading should be levied on the guilty parties. Reply
