Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Tim Beyers]

  Who wins? We won't know for years, but Southwest is already the leading buyer of the MAX, and as such, seems to be a likely benefactor. There's also Alaska Airlines (NYSE: ALK  ) , which already flies from the continental west coast to various destinations in the Hawaiian Islands. The airline has ordered 37 of the planes to upgrade its fleet.

• [By Michael Lewis]

  Alaska Air Group (NYSE: ALK  ) may be the best airline available to investors. It's been incredibly successful in its slow, steady expansion plan that not only increases routes but increases revenue per seat along the way. It's no secret either, as the stock has gone up north of 80% in the last 12 months. Yet, even with its tremendous run-up in stock price, the company still trades under 10 times forward earnings. Let's take a look at the first quarter and see if it's time to back up the truck for Alaska Air.
