There is absolutely no evidence that the Unofficial Creditors Committee has any investment horizon different from those on the official Creditors Committee. It is simply more "facts be damned" Delta propaganda.
Presumably, everyone who will be issued stock (except perhaps the pilots union) will be trying to make a buck. Of course, some folks on Wall Street are better than others at doing that, and it would seem that the "unofficial" creditors bought AFTER the ship had already sunk, and therefore are in a position to make money on this deal, as opposed to just lose less.
There have already been some media reports indicating that most of the "new" bondholders tend to be longterm investors (well, at least as "longterm" as anyone really invests in airlines). As has been mentioned, one is a major USAirways shareholder. It is hardly surprising that individuals who made money with Parker before are trying to make more money with him on this deal. That's pretty much how our capitalistic system works. -
