Spot on! Of course, the lefties would absolutely hate you and your idea. If you don't have a stake in the outcome, how do you get a say in it?

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.
I saw that article.....The question is: Is DAL, Inc. building a war chest OR a doing a corporate "balance transfer" to a lower rate loan?

Who knows!?!?

Yes, it's a total mystery... I wonder if the author might have left us a clue, somewhere, like... the title?

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.

Well lets consider this:

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.
