Bruce, the airlines have everything going for them right now. However, I view them as trades and not long term investments. They are capital intensive. Since most airlines except the very best managed are flying planes which on average are 29 years old they must now replace these planes. They are labor intensive. The current shortage of pilots is in part due to the reduction in the military. They are energy intensive. A hickup in oil prices hits the bottom line almost immediately. They have a tendency to fly high and then take the old nose dive when the first air pocket hits. Having shot off all of my anti-aircraft guns, the one jewel among the flying tigers has got to be LUV. Still the low cost producer with the highest satisfaction ratings among for those who fly and one of the most modern fleets out there. Clearly the best managed of the bunch. Keep your stops tight. And best of luck.
