  • Earnings are solid but the airline industry as a whole has recently seen lower traffic until just recently where it showed new growth. Appears this new growth may rebound the stock once more as earnings for ALK show promising news.
  • Significant price of entry for new competitors
  • Air travel is still the fastest way to travel and no other alternative is in near sight
  • Private jet – ride share may poach higher fare customers but that leaves an economic model for the future.
  • With bigger planes being ordered/moved into current airlines, maximizing space with economy fairs for more bodies makes sense.

  4. Over the past few years the stock market has made substantial declines. Some short term investors have lost a good bit of money. Many new stock market investors look at this and become very skeptical about getting in now.
