Jakebeth,

If you don't want to lose any more money, SELL that LUV stock. Airlines are a terrrible investment. They have high fuel costs, high labor costs, security and weather issues. While Southwest has made money by hedgeing fuel, fuel costs even two years down the road are sitting north of $50/barrel of oil, meaning its advantage has evaporated.
