Summary

*I don't chart Delta, but I thought I'd include it anyway, since it was largely the cause of today's sector weakness
--

Delta marginally missed on June flight data, and Mr Market was arguably pretty harsh with today's smack down.

Thursday looks set to see at least a little further downside. Perhaps next week will also be a little weak, but the broader trend for the airlines will surely resume to the upside into August.
