Stupid, stupid and more stupid. A hedged transaction, when done properly, is a risk free transaction. In stock transactions buying the stock and selling a call against the stock is a hedged transaction or sometimes called a covered transaction. Companies that receive large amounts of foreign currencies may hedge this influx of currency by selling a currency future and thus avoid the risk of currency transactions. To lose $712 million of their stockholders money in a hedge should result in some management changes. If you believe that anyone at Delta will even feel this $712 million loss let alone suffer from it then you still believe in Santa Claus.
So it wasn't a hedge exactly?
