Is it a perfect deal? No.
The perfect contract has never been signed.
Is this deal good? Yes.

Do I want to gamble on a European meltdown or Israel launching a strike on Iran erasing this offer and subsequently the company's profitability to pay the increases to us? NO!

Do I want to be back at the table $50-60k richer with 19.7% higher rates when we would likely be settling a "first" TA the traditional way? HECK YES!
