Free is always the most expensive option [View all]

My background includes several decades owning sailboats of various sizes and vintages. One thing often stated in many different ways is that the most expensive boat is the one that's free.

Somebody needs to explain this to TSF in the context of a jumbo jet. That free jet will cost over $1B to make it work right and it could take many years to do all the refurb work.
