Delta Air Lines, 2020. Passenger revenue collapsed 65 percent in a single year. But here is what most people miss — EBIT did not fall 65 percent. It swung from positive four-point-two billion to negative five-point-one billion — a nine-billion-dollar collapse on an eighteen-billion-dollar revenue drop. That is not bad management.
