Weaker airlines lack international and scale.
Airlines outside Delta and United lack international routes, lounges, scale, and margin capacity. American has a 10-point margin gap to Delta/United; JetBlue lacks scope and footprint; Southwest has essentially no international and no lounges. It is hard for them to catch up to Delta/United margins.

Airline margin recovery with triple potential.
Southwest is a margin-recovery play: before COVID it never had a losing year and earned 10-15% margins, versus 2.8% now. A record quarter showed $8.4B sales, up 16%, and EPS more than doubled, but fuel costs jumped $900M and debt has risen sharply, though liabilities are starting to decline. If it returns to 10-15% margins on about $30B revenue, free cash flow could exceed $3B. Analysts see EPS rising from $3.38 to $7.32; at 20x that is $146. Paul's 10-year model uses 3-7% revenue growth, 8-14% margins, 16-22x valuation, and a 9.5% desired return, giving a $133 mid-case versus $42 now, about 28% return.

Airline fuel costs pressure earnings
Higher fuel costs are pressuring airlines; American expects an extra $1 billion of fuel expense in Q4, and United, American, and Southwest are trying to raise fares to offset it. There is a limit to how much customers will absorb before resisting, creating earnings risk.
