Yeah 255 was a cap. Things change, and this was an opportunity to get rid of those 50s.. as you said.. 5 years early. Management will probably come to us in 3 years asking for more in order to get
rid of the remaining 50s.. But for now I think it a good trade. More of OUR guys will make more money sooner.
The 76s aren't worth our time to fight like we are fighting. The 90s are ours.. and anything bigger obviously is. Turning this down will ensure the 50s are here a lot longer, and that will continue the stagnation. If you are OK with that, I am too. This is a good deal for the junior guys, and IMHO it will hurt them more to turn this down than it will me. The money sure would be nice though...

Oh, and I didn't read any bullet points.. I read the TA itself. I haven't read any NPs until afterwards for clarification of my conclusions.
