Macrotrends has been pretty reliable in my experience. I am trying to verify the annual numbers:

And page 63/64, it seems like Macrotrends is using “net income/loss” row and the “total operating income” row, and Google is also using the same, so not sure why the quarterly figures are different. Macrotrends does look erroneous here.

>And again, that doesn't address the fact their net profit margin has literally 0 relation to their profit margin on MY TICKET which is CONSIDERABLY higher than 11.72% on average.

Yes, the delta bosses are not considering the profit margin from your specific flights, but assuming the vast majority of their business is flights where their airline miles come into play, then I figured it is a good assumption that, on average, losing a flight costs them the around the same profit margin.

Of course it is possible they lose so many flights that it cuts into their fixed costs, but I assume they are smart enough to make those calculations.
