Wonder who some of the largest private stock holders are (the Investors)?

Richard, Ed, Paul, and the rest of senior management.

They are getting paid very well with Delta's stock price runup, as they should.

So, can we finally talk about RESTORING the Pilot's pay and pension contributions over the past 10 years, that helped make all these profits possible?
Seems the reduced fuel costs impacted negatively for Delta in terms of hedging write downs. Hedging can be good (SWA 2008) or bad. American doesn't hedge and will see a windfall due to the reduced pricing.
