WheelsUp, a private aircraft charter company partially owned by Delta Airlines, announced this week that they're laying off up to 20% of their pilots. This company has been in financial turmoil for years. Why on earth has the stock gone up roughly 5-10% since the announcement? It seems like an aviation company laying off pilots would be an indicator of poor financials, correct? Any insight?
