If it makes Delta more profitable, great. On that profit note though, I'd rather have a revenue sharing agreement now instead of profit sharing, particularly if this venture pans out.
This is generally done when they have to change over from summer blend to winter et al for automotive gasoline. I do not believe this needs to be done for jet A.
Anywho, that is about 5.5 million less bbl's of Jet A per month of maintenance.
