If the airlines did not have a slightly bad reputation from previous years they would all be up significantly higher right now. I would venture to say that AAL, DAL and UAL would be in the $70's and LUV in the $60's if they were another industry. And you are not really off topic cause they are all connected to a certain extent. One does great and the others will follow. When DAL has released great numbers AAL has seen a pop too and so on. Not always but as a general rule...and as a general I should know. LOL
