You brainiacs seem to have forgotten that since 2010 he has been telling everyone that would listen that 3985 would never run again in his lifetime.

Spending obscene amounts of money on 4014 and always telling his handlers that 3985 would require even more money to restore than 4014 did, made his dream come true.

For him.

I would bet my 401k that the former manager was told in no uncertain terms that he would not get one a single cent or one extra body to restore a 4000.
