Buying an Airline

Hi Dan:

Did you see the article about warren Buffet thinking about buying an airline ?  And did you see this:  "And Berkshire (BRKA) could easily afford any of these four airlines -- United is the cheapest, currently worth about $20 billion. Delta is the most expensive, with a market value of nearly $40 billion."

I think this is an opportunity for you to tell Warren which airline you'd buy if you had that kind of cash and I'm sure he'd hire you to be his "airline acquisition adviser" once you get him to sign up to Dans Deals.   
So, which airline would YOU buy and why and what changes would you make to it to make the purchase a worthwhile ROI ??

Best wishes,

Peter

I would think United is ripest for success... just needs a 180 from its continuous screw ups , maybe even a rebranding

The stuff Dan likes in an airline is the exact same stuff Buffett would hate in an airline, and the stuff Dan hates in an airline is exactly what Buffett looks for in an airline..
Dan would be a pretty bad airline picker for Buffett
