shhhhh... let him ask - some of us may have some shares to unload!

Joking of course. I haven't traded an airline stock for a while as they are very difficult to short in general. I did ride DAL down a few points, but that has been many moons ago. JBLU used to be great to long/short on long term reversals (>15 minutes) but then it got very difficult to predict when you could find shares to borrow.

I wish you guys could all pick it up above $10, then you can be traded as a sector using divergance patterns with shorting not so much an issue. Seems to work better in this sector than the others, at least for me.

I shorted DAL awhile back

I bought AMR at $3 back in March/April-ish 2003, (after pay concessions agreed to) sold it at $5 and high fived myself.

it later hit $17



merger official ? Short AWA and buy UAIRQ
