It looks like the stock part of the agreement is so that the taxpayer can benefit from any windfall that the airlines experience following this emergency. Treasury is not getting airline stock it is getting warrants to buy stock. So, in the case of Delta Treasury is getting a warrant to buy Delta at 24.39 a share.
