tdp2664 InvestorPlace Top airline stocks Delta (NYSE: DAL ), American (NYSE: AMR ), United Continental (NYSE: UAL ), Southwest (NYSE: LUV ) and US Airways (NYSE: LCC ) have always had a give-and-take with regulators. Airlines and the feds have struggled to craft the right balance between safety and cost to both airline stocks and airline passengers. Put another way: Err too much on the safety side, costs are too burdensome for airline stocks and plane manufacturers to bear; err too much on the cost side, people die. That match is playing out this week as air safety advocates square off against the commercial airline industry over rules to reduce pilot fatigue and mandate better training.
