But you can do all those things and demand it. Wait 4-5 yrs and hope mediation will come through. Or you can take nice gains now and put that money in the bank. Don't be dufus...ask the Legacy Airways guys how well taking their ball and going home worked out for them??? Yeah, that's right. They've lost MILLIONS...and they're right back where they started a decade later. Stupid, stupid move...and the only people that won are Dougie Parker and Co.
What you will see are significant gains across the board. And money in the bank now is worth way more than money you hope to get in 5 years from now.
