AAI: Airline Jet Fuel Play

Quote from empee:

airtran has changed alot through bankruptcy, they used to suck dirty etc but now they are probably the best airline i have been on, free xm radio too boot check 'em out u will be shocked its totally different now.. i accidentally booked a trip on them (free ticket) and i was like omg but u will be totally shocked.

new planes, etc.

that's certainly good to know,

thanks for posting something positive,

perhaps I will endure the booking process and choose them next time I fly.

pity they don't participate in the fare matching websites...

AirTran (AAI) is the WORST airline in the USA. if you have ever flown them, you will know what i am talking about. i flew them about 8 times (RT) back in college because i was a poor student but now that i am working, never again will i endure AirTran aka ValueJet.

Sorry to pick on you but your comment represents what is wrong with the airline industry. As long people demand ridiculous levels of service and think that they are getting a safer flight by paying more for a ticket the airline industry will never improve. Flying is unbelievably safe, even safer than getting out of bed in the morning. Airlines have been deregulated for over twenty years now but still act as if it is regulated. I hope all the legacy carriers go under so that only lean airline that actual fly you from where you are to where you want to go are left.
 
There is a big disparity between hedging crude oil (WTI), hedging using the crack spread or hedging using jet fuel. It also depends what market (local) you are using to hedge your jet fuel for hedging. I could hedge NWE jet fuel at 619.5 for delivery, or I could purchase (hedge) using offshore jet at lower rates. I could purchase (hedge) crude and enter into a contract with the nationals to refine, but my margins might get squeezed and I’m not taking on more risk.

- Just a point of clarification.
 
Also take a look at AMR, CAL, LUV, ALK not to mention LCC...JBLU, surprisingly, a leggard, except for the last couple of sessions.

MESA and SKYW amongst the "regional" carriers

Oil is helping, huh?!:D
 
Correction could very well have ended today at $14.29
Crude coming back off again will send this stock back to the old highs.
Go with a strong close and use 14.20 as your stop.

Great trading vehicle.
