First--if it's a viable money-maker, then you may want to hold onto it for a year or two until you get some folks under you at Delta. It only takes one catastrophe to completely change the industry's footing. Also--if you shut it down, are you putting folks on the street?
As far as how to spin your business on an ap/interview--might want to sign up with an interview prep/consulting agency to hear their thoughts.
