Therefore he (and Delta senior management) must subscribe to the theory of "Future Sunk Costs" because they are pouring $$$ into transferring HQ locations, preparing for new aircraft, running 900 sims in Montreal, St. Louis, and MSP simultaneously. They are paying a lot of pilots to sit and wait rather then furlough. They are either spending like a drunken sailor or know something we don't know.
