SWA "dings" up 321M profit!

the $5 billion+ should keep them around for a long time, a lot longer than most. Green is a good color.

.........and the stock goes down.

The stock has gone up nicely the last couple days along with the legacys and people are taking profits after todays earnings report. Obviously, the market isn't impressed.

Why not spend some of that money on enhancing safety. Installing life vests on aircraft that fly from the Northeast to Florida, instead of relying on an ill-conceived waiver, would be a start.

If an aircraft ever went down, and that's a lot of water they fly over each day, it would be a catastrophy without lifevests and rafts.

Ding, you are now all free to drown in the Atlantic Ocean!

The market hasn't been impressed for a long time. Naturally the SWA chest-thumpers have their own justifications, good employment, profits, blah blah blah...and all that is good...

But in the end you have to return an investment to your shareholder, especially the large institutional investors, and SWA has done pretty miserable in that department.

I think that is the issue that will eventually catch up with them. IMO.

Yeah....we don't have life vests on any of our planes. It's all about the "ill-conceived waiver". Your profile implies that you have some experience in this business. Do your homework before you post.

I'm not getting it... SWA posts a profit but it's not really a profit, DL on the other hand posts a loss but it's actually a profit. Please can someone explain.

Investment return for the shareholder? In the airline business?

By his own admission so did Obama.

So, you have seen a crash where people actually got those things out and inflated them? Or is that just a feel good measure?
