The entire focus will shift to total compensation instead of the billions Delta is making and the billions we made in concessions.

No talk of restoring our bankruptcy concessions that are no longer needed.

Unfortunately unless oil prices shoot up in the next weeks, the mark to mark provision gets realized as I understand pretty much all of Delta's hedge book expires in 2016. Hopefully Delta's operational profits are boosted by low fuel prices more than the hedge losses that will need to be written off in 2016 if prices stay where they are.

We single engine taxi and do all sorts of other stuff all year long to save a few million.

Management drops $2 billion gambling in the futures market.

Guess who will get the giant bonus check?

Yeah, but two billion dollars of the concessions just got lost by the hedge fund manager at the oil speculation roulette table so can't we just call it even?

Let the whining and spinning and "total compensation" nonsense begin.

The line pilots will NEVER accept less than AA rates. So the insiders will COMPLETELY disregard the contract survey and cut our profit sharing.

After all, what do the line pilots know?
If I was a betting man, I would bet that is being discussed right now.

Alfa,
What say you?

Serious question: has Delta EVER come out ahead at hedging?

If you look at quarterly results, then yes. They have reported gains occasionally.

Overall (5 year; 10 year) then no. They have lost big.

If it had two engines it'd be a C-12, like this Army C-12:



Besides, with all of the A-7s they have on back order why in the world would they want to destroy one?
Looks like the painter didn't get to finish his job. Got the corners and cut in but didn't get to the roller.
