Delta Air Lines reports that it recently signed a letter of intent for the purchase of a used 777 aircraft for $7.7 million, backing up the comments made in October by Delta's CEO Richard Anderson, contending that a used 777 could be acquired for as little as $10 million. The news has increased concerns over the resale value of used airlines, and sent Boeing stock down by 1.7 percent.
