The first thing they did was pick a head coach. He made his picks and cuts. The team flourished, while the rest of the school fought each other. TIME is an important factor in any consolidation.

Ok - don't you think that Smisek sensed pierce's weakness when he made the side letter deal for profit sharing and willingness to publicly denounce the UAL MEC on Computer training issues. The indication to Smisek was a divide that he could exploit to delay JCBA. It's easy to blame Smisek but don't you share any responsibility for the delay caused by pierce?
