BP good points you made. 1.. Lower prices all around. 2.. If travellers lost a bit of body weight, then they could up the luggage weight. 3.. Good for shareholders. 4 My answer for 4... Years ago, only the well off could afford to fly. These days every man and his dog wants to fly, even some people on benefits want to fly as cheap as possible, who cares, cram them all into cattle class, they shouldn't be flying anyway.

Nine new super efficient dreamliners sipping fuel quietly with several more arriving in the years ahead...a real bean counters delight those aircraft are and customer satisfaction with them seems very high too from company reports...a classic win-win for shareholders and customers
Prices / demand to Europe is very modest at present...with all the terrorism any wonder why !
Keep up the good work Beagle and company. I still think $3.50 to $4 is possible. We are all well positioned. Good on the cattle class, make me more $$$$$$ .

No worries mate. I think another point that's worth making on the domestic travel front with an aging baby boomer population and cheaper domestic fares is people may be more inclined to fly almost anywhere now rather than drive. Anything over about 3 hours car travel and I'd rather fly. Taupo is the absolute limit of how far I can be bothered driving these days.

I would have expected Cullen Airlines "squeeze em in" and bugger the self loading freight's deep vein thrombosis strategy would have caused a drift to the better cabin layout offered by some their competitors.
Doesn't seem to have though.

But if you were in a new Mustang you could probably get to at least Taihape.

That's right. Without calculator my guess is about 6 to 6.5%. It's not too late couta1, get in now before it hits 3.50. $4 here we come with nice 5% yld.

Nah mate, I won't touch the stock for divvy or trading, I'd be too nervous as I only hold big holdings ,so too much risk. PS-Might be worth buying again after a certain North Korean nutter pushes a few buttons.

I have been nervous for the last 5 weeks from 2.90 to 3.36 last week. It looks cold but once you have been in for a while it feels good. Just buy a small amount and join the fun. 5 years ago, sold out at 1.35 and had to buy back in at 1.715 up to 3.36, we all been there.
