Jet fuel has roughly doubled since the U.S.-Iran war began in late February and winter storms cost Delta about two points of capacity this quarter.\nMeanwhile, a partial government shutdown has left TSA officers working without pay.\nBastian called the situation “inexcusable,” saying frontline agents “are being used as political chips.” \nHe said the disruption tends to hit hardest on weekends and at southern airports, but Delta has been holding flights so passengers don’t miss connections, and it hasn’t had a big impact on the business. His main concern was agents missing paychecks. \nKalshi bettors aren’t sharing Bastian’s optimism on the broader economy. Recession odds for 2026 jumped above 32% on the platform last week, the highest since November, up from under 23% days earlier. \nPolymarket traders see a 31% chance of recession by year-end.\nThe Fed is expected to hold rates steady this week, with both platforms pricing a 99% probability of no change, suggesting the central bank may be stuck even as recession fears build.\nDAL shares are up about 4% today. \nImage: Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"2","news_tag":"dataReport","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2620629476","isCrawlerRequest":true}
