NASDAQ:AAL
WJA-T vs. AAL-Q. On AAL-Q, the industry has consolidated so the airlines have pricing power. 10 years ago all these airlines were losing money. There are ultra low cost carriers coming in and undercutting the others and there is a bit of a price war going on. This is not happening in Canada. He would stay out of the US. WJA-T is safer than AC-T.
Feels there is a trading catalyst to own an airline here. There has been some consolidation in this space. Traditionally these are not well run businesses but there is less capacity now, fuel is moving up and surcharges can be passed on. If they can manage those earnings and can guide the street conservatively, a case could be made for them. If you start to see passenger trends roll over, it would probably be time to sell.
