Sure, there's a travel boom, but the airlines haven't fully benefit due to major unreliability problems. For example, LUV cancelled 16,000 flights over the holidays last year due to bad weather and technical issues. Just last week, technical problems led to nationwide delays. Pity, because LUV has long held a good reputation, and he likes Southwest.

This is the only one that has made money in the airline industry, for 40 years. They just gave a 33% dividend growth. 4 carriers control 80% of the market vs. 10 in the year 2000. He thinks Q4 will be an inflection point for revenue per available seat. We will get at least 25% growth next year.
