I think you have to distinguish between "old school" airline industry (UAL, DAL, AMR) and "new school" airline industry (LUV, JBLU, AWA, etc.). The old school folks are losing money hand over fist; airlines like Southwest are going like gangbusters: Southwest flew the largest number of passengers of any US arline last month, for the first time ever. There's something interesting going on there ...
