Are you concerned about the recent decline in mortgage originations? It seems like the next year or two may be a bumpy ride for new mortgages.

I know several Delta pilots who have done it, but don't have any firsthand experience. The one I talked with the most about his mortgage business seemed to be happy with the workload and extra income.

Great attitude! Learning now while the markets may be a little slow will set you up nicely for when things get busy again. Based on a few layover and cockpit conversations it sounds like it is compatible with Delta and provides a good side income. It may be worth a look at the commercial lending side as well. Business owners and CRE investors don't require as much hand holding as home buyers, so the lack of immediate phone contact while working at Delta may be less of an issue.

Just curious. Is anyone playing options with airline stocks these days? Seems like there’s some upside with the pent up travel demand but also the downside risk of higher fuel prices and inflation. So a mixed bag of volatility. What do the pros think? (Yes I know, there are no pros on these boards, dyodd etc)

The key word is "play". A safer way to play options is with covered call ETFs like XYLD and RYLD. You miss the big hits and dopamine rush that comes from naked calls, but for the slow & steady investors like me, the monthly distributions are fine.

is that a DAL rule or something like an SEC rule? I have not heard of this one so I would be curious to read more on it.

I dumped all my Delta stock about a decade ago and invested in oil. It was close to a long term put on DAL. I'll let the stock market experts and technical traders comment on the correlation between DAL and XOM. In general anything above a cursory investment in a company you work for, but don't control is too much skin in the game.
