None of those had their company coming to THEM and asking for an early opener because they wanted something. I know it would ruin your incredibly phony thesis if you ever acknowledged that our situation is different.

From what I hear, they're going professionally. Pretty good given the fact they're at the top of the pay heap and will be even after our TA is amendable. Really good considering SWAPA's scope.
