"Jet It" Fractional just suddenly shut down and laid off all employees. Honda Jet owners are screwed, many of the jets are locked in hangers waiting for liens to be cleared. They'll take major losses on their shares. This can't give WU customers a warm fuzzy.

WU going into BK may be one of many upcoming canaries in the much anticipated headwinds of a late 2023 economic slow down.

I don't know about the Delta angle. I can't see those contracts being worth a hill of beans once the BK filing is made. That's the point of the filing in the first place. I don't think DL is worried about it frankly, certainly not to feel compelled to infuse the company, though I'm not privy to the details of those block purchase contracts.
