Lighten up, Poindexter, it was meant as a joke. But since you mentioned it, no, I don't believe someone who was on the outside two weeks ago is quite qualified to give reliable advice on specifics related to the company operations. I'd take any rumors, advice, information, or "news" gleaned from "someone who came to talk to our class" with some very large grains of salt. That especially pertains to domicile and PBS bidding strategies. Most of those guys mean well, but are pretty insulated from things living in SLC and working in training.
