Airlines are some of the biggest speculators. Southwest’s oil price hedging is speculation.

And Southwest was notably absent from the list of those who want their bad bets covered. Southwest made a good bet ("hedged") and they are benefitting from the risk. I'm sure the otherw souldn't be calling for this if THEY had bet right.
