What does 2009 have to do with anything I posted.......NOTHING

BTW, 2009 was 5 years ago and means nothing to anybody relative to ALSK.

Earlier you wrote:

Because of it's operating losses, it's balance sheet and it's worsening financial results.

"worsening financial results" from YoY yes. However relative to 2009 operational margins were the similar this year.

Operational margin:
2004: 3.34%
05: 8.30%
06: 14.58%
07: 15.67%
08: 3.88 %
09: 9.54% = $8 a share
10: 13.81%
11: 18.21%
12: 17.21%
13: 72.62%
ttm: 10.53% $1.78 a share

Operational margin is relatively the same as it was in 2009. Share price was $8 a share. Now it is as $1.78

It has declined YoY. However the question was simply whether there was value in the company as a contrarian play.
