Perhaps Wayne's focus wasn't so much on who was he going to leave it to, as so much as he wanted to build it back up to what it once was. Since 1990, Millardair was a shadow of what it once was before bankruptcy...
The K-W MRO hanger, was very much like a new start-up operation. It would have required significant more funding out of personal savings, to equip for actual operations.
I don't think Wayne really planned on kicking the bucket as soon as he did. He probably was going for broke to get this set up. His focus would have been on survival and growth.. not on whom is the successor is for the remains of Millardair, at the present. There would have been a fundamental problem with Dellen, in possibly seeing his inheritance go up in smoke, and not the type that you inhale... Therein lies a possible motive for the 'mysterious suicide by bullet in eye theory..' with the sudden, and perhaps untimely passing of Wayne, at a relatively young age as compared to his father Carl.
So why is Wayne, at a time in life when most of his generation is taking to the golf course, out to start a new business in a grimly competitive field?
Did he never really play a major role at Millardair? Was Carl always in control? Was this his last chance at the business glory he never had when his father was alive?
I agree that Dellen's fears about seeing the family fortunes go up in the wrong kind of smoke is a plausible motive.
This theory also contradicts Blomquist's claim that Wayne was a shrewd businessman.
