Delta Airlines landed high, wide, and handsome in 2015 and will (sources say) show the love, sharing $1.5 billion between employees, shareholders, and customers next month just ahead of Valentines Day on February 12. As the oil slick costs continue to shrink, estimates see as much as $3 billion in fuel cost savings at DL during 2016 . . . Elsewhere, last week United, Alaska, and Southwest reported flying lower oil costs to loftier profits. Shows a lot of heart—In reporting some numbers, United CEO Oscar Munoz, (left) who underwent a heart transplant in early January, conducted a live conference call, demonstrating that he is indeed on the mend and increasing his participation in company activities. The world also learned that UA upped its net income from $28 million to $823 million during the fourth quarter and will distribute $698 million in profit sharing with its employees for the year. Alaska Airlines said last week profits rose 29 percent during the final quarter of 2015, delivering passenger revenues of $1.2 billion during the quarter. “This was our best year for earnings in the company’s history,” said Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly, as the airline reported $536 million in profits during the fourth quarter.
