Large Cap Airlines Today's Big Winners Thanks To Oil Weakness

No one likes cheaper oil more than the airline stocks.  I hate these names, never invest in them and I don't even trade 'em.  That said, they were the biggest winners on the day thanks to the weakness in crude oil.

Congrats to those who played them.  The biggest gainers today seemed to have been the big boys of the sector...
