Delta's risky oil refinery bet - May. 2, 2012

While it appears they missed the mark big time on the refinery, its hard to argue with anything they said in the other one about VA.

I'm looking hard to see a net upside (for DL pilots) but I'm not able to balance the ledger on that yet. Especially when we could end up blowing the better part of a billion dollars to lock in a massive share of more foreign pilot lift, most of which to cities we already fly to.
