I just want to be paid appropriately.
BTW, who's leading and setting the bar higher now?

They, SWAPA, saw the opportunity was there and took it. DALPA is our agent. I want someone who believes in me, like Jerry Maguire in that movie. "help me help you" needs to be the attitude, not "reading a balance sheet" or "understanding hedging.". I want "here is what you deserve."
