But there is some evidence that prices may be coming down. Spirit cited overall fare compression in many markets and increased capacity from competitors in the key Dallas market. Southwest (LUV) and American (AAL) have been extremely aggressive there. Related: Airlines saved $3.4 billion on fuel. You saved 66 cents. Shares of Southwest, American, Delta (DAL) and United (UAL) are all down this year. So is Virgin America (VA), which had a wildly successful stock market debut last year. Interestingly, Virgin was ranked as the top airline in another index, the Airline Quality Rating. (Spirit wasn't included in this survey while JetBlue came in fourth.) But shares of Alaska Air (ALK) are up 10%. The company scored well in its debut on the ASCI this year and also had the lowest number of consumer complaints according to the Airline Quality Rating report.
