Becky Quick said on CNBC's "Options Action" that Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B) sold some of its position in Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NYSE: DAL) and Southwest Airlines Co (NYSE: LUV).

Berkshire's stake in these companies was above 10% and it had to report any change within a few days, she said. Berkshire sold 12.9 million shares of Delta and it now owns 9.2% of the company. It sold 2.3 million shares of Southwest and it now owns 9.9%.

Berkshire's stake is these names is now below 10%, so we won't know what it is doing with its position going forward, Quick said. The company won't have to report again until 45 days after the close of the quarter.
