Fred Flinstone reports on the plummeting airline stocks, blaming everything from pesky tariffs to Wilma's shopping habits, and ponders if Bedrock will ever see a decent vacation again.

Great Gazoo What's Going On With These Bird Brained Airlines?

Yabba Dabba Doo! Fred Flinstone here reporting live from the Quarry... well not really *live* more like writing it down after a long day of dinosaur powered machinery. Anyway I gotta tell ya things are looking rocky even rockier than my bowling average! Seems like these fancy schmancy airline stocks are doing a nosedive faster than Barney Rubble running from a brontosaurus burger bill! I tell ya what is going on with this world? Is it a conspiracy by the Water Buffalo Lodge against traveling?!?

Delta's Down! Wilma's Travel Plans Derailed!

This Delta Air Lines the one Wilma keeps yapping about for our anniversary trip to Hollyrock well some fellas named Jefferies done gone and said it ain't so great no more! They chopped its price target lower than my golf score after a few too many Bronto Burgers. Wilma's gonna be furious! "Fred!" she'll yell "How are we gonna see the latest fashion trends and hobnob with the elite?" I tell ya sometimes I wish we just stayed in Bedrock!

Tariffs and Tumbles: Blame the Rockhead Economy!

Seems these tariffs whatever *those* are – probably some newfangled invention by Mr. Slate to squeeze more rocks outta us – are messing with folks' travel plans. And something about 'consumer confidence' being lower than a dinosaur's belly? I blame it on Wilma's shopping habits! If she wasn't buying every new stone gadget that came along maybe we'd all be feeling a little more confident! Seriously I swear sometimes I think she could spend money faster than I can say 'Yabba Dabba Doo!'

Southwest Sinks! Is This the End of Cheap Flights to Cobblestone Canyon?

And it ain't just Delta! This Southwest where you can pack more people in than in a Flintmobile after bowling night it's sinking too! Down more than 5% they say! What's a caveman to do? How am I supposed to visit my cousin Clod in Cobblestone Canyon if the price is higher than Dino's appetite for ribs?!

A Ray of Sunshine! United Stands Tall!

But hold on a minute! There's a glimmer of hope! This United Airlines they're still getting a thumbs up from these Jefferies fellas. Though even they chopped its price target lower than my rock garden wall. Still maybe there's a chance for a quick trip to see the Great Gazoo after all! If I can get Wilma to agree to rough it a little...

Blame the Weather! And Maybe a Late Easter Egg Hunt?

These fancy Bank of America types are saying maybe the weather's to blame? Or a late Easter? Sounds like a load of schist to me! I bet it's just those pesky tariffs and Wilma's shopping! Either way it looks like we might be stuck in Bedrock a little longer. Time to polish the bowling ball and prepare for another night at the Water Buffalo Lodge. Yabba Dabba Doo...darn!

    Yabba Dabba Don't go anywhere near these stocks, unless you have rocks to burn.
