I agree I'm not that interested in what a guys premerger group is, only that they reflect the will of the group. Which, I would argue, is less company friendly than years past. However, we may be dealing with human nature somewhat as I've talked to old Hughes Airwest guys that refer to themselves as Hughes guys (not even "green guys")........and that is how many mergers ago now?
