American Airlines Group Inc (AAL)

[Blind Mellon]

Just got in from flying Hong Kong-DFW... Loads are outstanding. Not hauling cargo yet as they want to get a base for fuel consumption before adding in cargo weight. (it's a long haul) 777-300 ER is loaded to the gills with passengers. Normally early on new routes loads are on light side. Not on this. Cathay Pacific feeding into HKG and loading the DFW flight.

This is only a microscopic view of how things are going I know. The word is getting out about the undervalued P-E ratio and I'm seeing the unlocked value of the old American Airlines being unleashed by competent mgmt. That is something that has been missing from American Airlines for at least 20 of my 27 years there.

AAL has enabled me to work maybe a little less... or really flat out retire early. This is only important in that it allows me to spend more time with family.... which is all that really matters.

Congratulations to all of us who have been riding this terrific ride for the last year or so. Take the weekend to count your blessings.(and tally up profits!)
