At first, I suspected that the "good news" was less than forecasts, but the report indicates that this is not the case.

My guess now is that the market expects other airlines to do even better in their reports to be released this week.
The fall has to do with the revenue miss. Analysts expected $8.25 billion while DL came in at $8.17 billion.

For net income excluding special items, they beat estimates by 2 cents (analyst forecast 63 cents; DL came in at 65 cents).
