While I understand methodology which excludes "unexpected" costs, these are real costs of outsourcing none the less.

The political choice we make is to NOT rub management's nose in these "unexpected costs." Instead our political slant is to justify outsourcing.

Delta's outsourcing looks good on paper from a short term perspective. The longer view would reveal it has been a disaster for both labor and Delta, Inc.
