Air Tran is suffering like all of the airlines. More consolidation and layoffs for the industry, only the financially strong will survive.

Avatar home4rentllc (< 20) Submitted: 9/25/08 9:22 PM : Underperform Start Price: $2.50 AAI Score: -3.92

Good: Lean company with new equipment.


Bad: Major labor problems on the horizon with some of the lowest paid crewmembers in the business and the company asking for 10 percent cuts. Good to trade on the short term.


Ugly: long term management v employee relations make it a down bet.


Redemption: Purchase by SWA or Alaska?

This is an experimental portfolio consisting of small-cap or larger picks that have recently entered the $1.50-3.00 range (favoring the low end), with the theory being that most stocks entering this range are not going to stay there unless they've been there for a while already.
