charles: earlier this morning an interview with mike boyd on opening bell.from the airasia flight 8501 is going to now start to take the story into a new phase. obviously, we're in the mourning phase as expressed by the company's ceo tony fernandez. this phrase stuck out in my heart. before this tragedy, this airasia story was about a bold gamble. tony fernandez bought the airline from the malaysian government for 29 cents. 29 cents, assumed the debt. they were old 737's and 250 employees. this is this year's chart, the stock flying high, no pun intended. before the tragedy, it started to fall off right there. the stock started to peak in 2011. over the past 24 hours, it's this chart and other things that have critics say blaming the airline, it is a legend in the airline industry, they have stretched the boundaries of what's possible. redefined a lot of rivals. they have the lowest unit cost. they're a low-cost airline, the world's lowest unit cost. 100% of fuel hedged for the next three years, that is amazing, turnaround time for planes, just 25 minutes. s
