Airline stocks: take a look

Warren Buffett have regretted for investing in US Airways. Airline business is a good business for pilots and managers, not for investors.

The oil costs, the huge number of Companies in the business and the terror threat, have been a major weapon against airline business.

But, Southwest Airlines have been a good case for more than a decade. Today, we have also a new top manager, US Air CEO Doug Parker, which is leading a new way in the business.

After the attack on Delta, from US Airways, United Airlines is attacking Continental. And as far as last Wednesday, the Amex Airline Index jumped 3%.

Probably, we are in a new step of the airline business, after low-cost carriers, we have a merger trend in the next months.
