Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL), the world’s second-largest carrier, is seeking $2.6 billion in loans to refinance debt, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
JPMorgan Chase & Co., the bank leading the financing, will host a lender call on March 31 at 11 a.m. in New York, said the person, who declined to be identified because the deal is private.
The first-lien debt includes a $1.225 billion, five-year revolving credit line and a $1.375 billion six-year term loan B, the person said.
First-lien debt is repaid first in a bankruptcy or liquidation, second-lien debt is repaid next.

One loan is to refinance some BK exit financing (forget which company's BK it was, but who cares), the revolver is like a home equity line of credit, you can borrow against it when the need arises. It can be a war chest or just an insurance policy. If oil stays high, there is more consolidation to come.
DAL has 2.5 billion of debt maturing next year (Last weeks conference call)
Of that 2.5 billion Ed commented that we had a 1.2 billion revolver that our creditors have already agreed to.
So, the question becomes; Is this added financing above the 1.2 billion or is this include it? If it does not include this 1.2 billion, I would submit that DAL is going to restructure debt early, or they are going to not pay down 1.3 billion in debt that they planned to. I guess we will have to tune in to the call to find out.
