I think if you had framed that "telling" with a backdrop of $110-140/bbl oil, a crappy economy, and numerous liquidations and BK at other carriers, they may not have told you we were crazy--perhaps just prudent. Doesn't mean that I'm happy with it--I just don't demonize the group for voting they way we did. (I voted for the contract, BTW).
