Please don't misinterpret kudos for the thought process as praise for the results....not what I said. In investing, I don't always pick winners, Delta doesn't always start service to lucrative locales, people don't always purchase houses that only go up in value ...etc, etc. But they do have to suit up and play the game, the ref may throw a penalty flag once in a while but if your team makes 6 billion/ year I don't think it's reasonable or "big picture" to only cite the "failures" and then paint Delta management as bumbling fools
