Do you really think they only leased equipment this one time 4 years ago. This may be the only time we know of. It may have been going on for years before and has happened many times or continuously ever since this article quoted James Welch.. This sort of stuff is usually kept pretty hush - hush. They really don't want the employees to know what the leased equipment ratio is to owned equipment and how much that ratio is changing from owned to leased. To know that may show a pattern of things to come.
