Every now and then the air-oholic stirs in me also. My personal weakness is JBLU, which I flirt with a couple times a year. I have to remind myself that at least 4 investors I have great respect for have been badly burned by airlines: 1) Buffett buying USAir preferred before the string of airline bankruptcies 2) Burry buying a large airline stock position right before 9/11 3) Branson's struggles growing Virgin Air 4) Julian Robertson's giant position in US Air in 2000 Whether I can eschew the forbidden fruit forever remains TBD. But when I do I'm sure I'll regret it.
