The US airline market is buzzing today. A great place to start on this story is Bill Swelbar’s comment.
Southwest has been through a rough patch. But then again, which airline hasn’t? Elliot Investment Management‘s (EIM) move will create a kerfuffle, no matter how this ends. How vulnerable is Southwest Airlines? We toured various data sources and concluded that Southwest was doing pretty well without EIM’s attention.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
