If you’re looking for a trade look at American Airlines [AMR] , Continental [CAL] and United Airlines [UAUA] he adds. They should be able to make money in this environment. I see opportunity to the upside.

Swings inversely with Oil. Good for day trade

AMR, for example, is sensitive to crude oil spikes, given the lack of fuel hedges. Citi expects fuel costs for the American Airlines parent to decline by $630 million in the second half, with 2008 per-share loss trimmed to $6.17 from street estimates above $7. But at $10.50, shares are still expensive, and the ratio of AMR's enterprise value to sales exceeds those for European carriers with sturdier balance sheets. A further oil slide will help, but the steepest oil slide may already be behind. Meanwhile, the Air Transport Association expects U.S. airlines to carry 6.5% fewer passengers this Labor Day weekend compared to last year. And despite having 1.2% fewer seats available in July compared with a year ago, American Airlines saw passenger traffic fall 3.5%, while UAL's United Airlines saw a 4% slide in traffic as capacity shrank 1.4%.

don't trust airline stocks

exists only to overpay mgt and pilots

not going anywhere

oil goes up airlines go down

for that matter any airline yukz!!

a good short these days

I hate airlines and unions. I have flown with them 20 times in the last year and was late or cancelled 60% of the time.

Airlines ........ need I say more

A lot of reasons here. High debt, volatility, high cost structure, market share decline

AMR which analyst Neidl estimates gets 50% of its international profit from London-U.S. routes, could also face serious turbulence. Since the airline lacks extensive Pacific operations, where demand is strong, any new competition over the North Atlantic will hurt.
