Agreed on most points, VanDriver. However, I think we could reasonably staff at least a good chunk of them. As for fuel prices, after some thought there's one key difference; we wouldn't own them so they wouldn't be a liability for the company. Once they're no longer financially feasible to operate, we shed them having lost nothing. And thinking a little further, we'd have our foot in the door with Delta again.
That said, the contract terms could be ridiculous as you've stated. And most importantly of all...

Yes x 1000.
