He keeps going with his mantra of "it's different this time" I guess in an effort to increase the stock price.
I hope so, as I've still got my shares, and I'm selling as soon as it hits $55.
Trouble with all this is that he is the only person who believes him. No one in the market evidently does. A couple analysts have thrown him a bone but that too hasn't mattered.

Nearly 15x debt to equity is no place to be using ALL the profits for stock buybacks.

Depends on objective.
If you spend all on stock buybacks and
economy / airline market crashes -> bankruptcy to dump debt -> restart without all the debt (but having cashed out executive equity awards at high prices).
economy / airline market goes up -> high gearing generally juices stuck prices big time (at obviously big risk to pilots and employees).
If you are looking to cash out equity and don't think you'll be around necessarily for 10 years not sure it's a bad plan - for the execs.
