They could have had their trojan-horse Contract for just 4% of the stock buy-back amount.
Exactly. Thank you AZ and Just Trust. You are highlighting my point. This whole debate / discussion about what should/shouldn't be included in the contract proposal seems to come out of the Theater of the Absurd. It's like arguing over how to rearrange the deck chairs as the Titanic is sinking.
As I listen live to the earnings announcement, I am heartened somewhat that two FAs so far have stood up and challenged Doug on profit sharing. I'm impressed. It would be nice if he feels this pressure from a variety of groups (including ours). Of course Doug is repeating the same drivel as in the past but.......Kudos to the two FAs.
