The airline industry hasn't had a very good history of taking care of its shareholders but that may finally be changing. I think the airlines may have finally figured out how to operate as a business with a long term strategic view for survival. The only major airline here (Delta) has survived battles with other major airlines, many of which are no longer in existence. The other three have operated in, and been very successful, in niche areas, but as they grow they'll start to come into conflict with the major airlines.
I'm of the belief that the airlines may be on the verge of a major move higher along with the economies of the world. And these four airlines are the four that I'd be interested in because they each have a nice one year estimated total return on investment. Based on the data above I'd be most interested in Alaska Air and Southwest Airlines.
As a result, I'll probably open a small position in one of these two airlines in the near future and see how the position progresses.
