Why in the hell would anyone buy an airline stock? Now, why would an airline pilot buy an airline stock? Now, to take this even further, why would an airline pilot buy stock in his airline?
Airline stocks are consistantly a under-performers. With 8,000 other stocks to choose from in the U.S. market alone, the decision to buy an airline stock shows poor judgement in fiscal prudence. That said, we all work in an incredibly volitile industry. It's bad enough our main source if income depends on the viability of our career and our airline. Why then would one subject their portfolio to this risk? Talk about all your eggs in one basket.
The only airline stocks I have owned are the shares that have been granted to me in a IPO or spinoff. I like to see my money work for me so I try to find investments that make a little more sense than airlines.
