sarah z	Alaska Air Group recently announced a $100 million dollar buyback. Alaska Airlines said it plans to test in-flight wireless internet service in one of its planes next spring and, if all goes well, intends to equip all of its planes with the technology. “We'll test a variety of pricing models" during next spring's test of the service, said spokeswoman Amanda Tobin Bielawski of Alaska, a unit of Seattle-based Alaska Air Group Inc. The stock trades for 4.5x cash flow.	Love	September 19, 2007

Barrons	From Barron's 6-25-07: Buy - Price 27.41 on June 19 by McAdams Wright Ragen "We [recently] resumed coverage of ALK with Buy and 35 [target]. With shares having sold off more than 40% from last year's highs, we feel a large portion of recent negative developments are reflected in the airline's stock price. Investors seem uneasy with fundamental turbulence that includes: Moderating demand; ticket-pricing sustainability; competition on West Coast routes; greater fuel-cost exposure; and pilot-contract negotiations. At the same time, Alaska's cost structure, excluding fuel, has seen improvement. An all-737 mainline fleet by the end of 2008 should reduce fuel and maintenance expenses while providing greater long-term earnings leverage tied to higher-gauge aircraft. Tough quarters may still be in store, [but] these entry points merit consideration...We view the idea as suitable for accounts willing to accommodate higher risk."	Love	June 23, 2007
