Delta Airlines ( DAL ) is on the board as being in favor of loan assistance to Boeing ( BA ) from the U.S. Import-Export Bank. The CEO of the airline, Richard Anderson, is softening his stance as critics in Congress are calling for the agency to be closed. According to the Wall Street Journal Anderson is expected to give a speech to the Aero Club that supports continued support for sales of Boeing jets to a limited number of airlines that do not have alternative financing available.
