Any ideas?
No, I have long stated that this early option would allow the company to get their debt level to a point that allowed them more options. Look what is out there in the industry. DAL wants to have options to go for any of it. I do not think any of this starts until late fall or just after Labor Day though. Just my hunch.
As I said, DAL wanted a TA by mid to late June so it could pass MEMRAT with a 60 day window by late Aug. My hunch is that still holds.
