Can Delta Air Lines afford to restore C2K ? or even C2K+ ?[/SIZE]
Not to mention (although I guess that means I'm mentioning it?) when fuel ran up over the last year above the already high costs that were anticipated, they went out and found...found...3 billion to cover it.

We could get full restoration many times over with the numerous multi billion dollar mistakes recent management teams have made. Many of those billion dollar blunders can be directly attributed to outsourcing so not only can we include massive scope recapture, but it can be shown quite convincingly that the company can't afford it long term if we don't.
