If I actually ever made a bad landing that is. I deny everything.
I was referring to Q4, 2014, where Delta reported fuel hedging losses of $2billion. While that will cover some of 2015 fuel expenses, it's still an incredible amount of money. If any one of us gambled on our fuel plannning, and lost the bet, we'd be held accountable. I would suggest a more conservative approach in fuel hedging, which Delta is now adhering to.
