Options trading on airline stocks gets a fresh angle when Spirit Airlines disappears and its passengers have to fly somewhere. Southwest Airlines is the natural beneficiary, and a short put at the 40 strike is a clean synthetic covered call option strategy with high IV rank and defined buying power.
