Stock buybacks...value workers created...
Focus on stock buybacks is a reminder of why so much value created by workers ends up in hands of billionaires...
Carl Icahn?s $2 billion Apple stake was a prime example of investment inequality - MarketWatch
Sounds like what Delta is doing...

Stock buybacks will someday be looked at in history books as dumbfounding.
How much more money would BB have if rjet wasn't bought back those times.
There should be a special place for CEOs that buyback stock only to take their company to shamruptcy.
Rigged.

Also, I just noticed that DAL has not moved with the rest of the industry following JBLU's fare hike. Cramer commented on this fare hike yesterday as the industry falling back into the old way of doing things. (fare sales and increased capacity). I think this will be an interesting quarter, but I am looking to trim my positions in the industry.

I agree that money used in buybacks could be better spent elsewhere, but unfortunately it is a Wall Street thing. Investors (sheep) like them for some reason. I would much rather we pay down debt or spend it on facilities/asset CAPEX. At $45/share and 800M shares outstanding, the needle won't move with the amounts they are spending.

"Rate hikes announced by JetBlue indicated to Cramer that the market is in fact strong enough to stop price cutting and not add capacity as it had planned to do"
