I just bought some shares and I’ll tell you why.
Yet you’re all still here.
A company doesn’t strive to provide terrible service but rather this becomes a by product of an overloaded system.
The fact there are so many complaints means there are high load factors and checking this over past few months I’ve seen most flights are practically full. Even with AC charging above market rates vs united/delta etc. they’re still getting decent loads.
- flights delayed
- flights cancelled
- baggage lost
- catering not showing up
- service sucks
- long waits
- Denying compensation

Look at USA $JETS ETF is crashing, so are JetBlue and Spirit and Hawaii and many airlines are falling to many-year lows, AC is relatively doing better

Headwinds:
1) Fuel costs (crude oil prices, predict $100/Barrel by years end)
2) predicting future demand drop...possible recession starting in Q1 2024
3) pilot strike
Every flight and airport I have been to/on has been packed. There is still too much liquidity out there sloshing around for people to spend thanks to moron central banks decisions to keep ZIRP for too long. IMO until Crypto/blockchain.NFT collapses there will be strong consumer demand for travel, especially international.
