"The significant increase in our third quarter 2018 earnings per diluted share was driven by record third-quarter operating revenues, lower federal income taxes, and a 4.8% year-over-year reduction in share count. Despite higher jet fuel prices and other cost pressures, we grew our third quarter 2018 net margin, year over year, which is a notable accomplishment," said CEO Gary C. Kelly in a statement.
