So how are we losing $50 million per day if our operating costs alone are less than half what they were before?



In 2Q19 Delta reported operating costs of $10.3 billion. If our costs are done more than half then that means our costs are $5 billion (or less) for the quarter.



Now throw in the revenue from charters, cargo, AmEx, and the passengers that are flying (they said 25% load factor in the most recent townhall).



$50 million loss per day x 90 days in a quarter = $4.5 billion loss



Is it me or does the math just not add up?
