The FAA places time limits on incentives and subsidies for new service when airport revenues are used. Private money - say, corporate funds or Chamber of Commerce-type stuff - can be offered longer term.

I'm willing to bet that IND/CDG and any potential CMH/CDG or AMS are relatively linked, we just don't know how. They are both state capitals with relatively similar population figures, both about the same distance from major hubs in ORD & DTW respectively.

If IND/CDG does great, DL could then decide to try CMH/AMS. Or they could decide one will take too much from the other

If IND/CDG does poorly, DL could then decide to move it to CMH/AMS or CDG to see if it does better there, or they could decide that area is over-saturated right now and not do anything TATL from CMH.

So really anything can happen. I doubt anyone at DL really knows at this moment too.
