When it comes to airplanes, Sheldon is a spendthrift. Otherwise, I would agree with you.

The acquisition cost of say a L1011-500 is probably less than 15M at the most. The Boeing 747SP may have even been less. Both the B767-300 and the BBJ would have cost many millions more than either of these two airplanes. Depending on how you finish the interiors on the SP and TriStars you could easily be in them for less than 30M each, maybe even less. So this looks to be a pretty good business plan where you create a tremendous over the top impression for the customer while minimizing the bottom line numbers regarding the prior to service costs. Obviously the hourly operational costs are over the top but considering there is no real alternative, what's a poor guy to do when he wants to bring his heavy hitters to the tables?

Basically, Sheldon is playing "mine is bigger than yours" with Steve, Kirk, and G-Money. Right now, he is way out in front.

Fortune had Sheldon's worth at 8 billion in the fortune 500 for this year. His 747 sp is on ramp and he has 2 L 1011's one is for parts. His pay scales are very good for Las Vegas. The turn over is very high for both flight attendant and pilots. You do the math, its Vegas

Don't think the 2nd L1011 is a parts bird as it's undergoing a D+ check at time. Even spendthrifts don't waste money on things like that.
