Cash in hand is great, but who really believes that this raise is the result of a magnanimous new CEO? We have something they need, and understandably they'll try to buy it as cheap as possible.

Considering that the TA vote will close days before Q4 and 2015 profits are released and you know we'll experience buyers remorse when we see the effect cheap oil, high load factors, and stable ticket prices has on the bottom line.

Just like Craigslist, we don't have to accept the lowball offer.
