It's not clear whether DL will keep flying

It seems very clear that DL will keep flying, bankruptcy or no
bankruptcy.

Since you obviously can foretell the future, why haven't you made a
fortune in the stock market? No, it is not "clear" that Delta will keep
flying. It is likely but hardly clear. If the price of oil takes another
upwards leap, a few airlines will be in trouble.

and therefore people booking a
year in advance may want to consider other alternatives.

Why on earth would anyone book an air ticket a year in advance?

Booking a frequent flier award ticket far in advance may be the only
way to ensure getting specific dates.
