That is certainly a change from forum sentiment a year ago. Everyone said that management was desperate for a agreement and the only reason TA15 was not vastly better was a MEC corrupted and in managements pocket. All we needed was to show a little resolve and they would throw money at us because they had to have a agreement and we had huge leverage.
