If the 12 didn't completely freeze up for three weeks before the soft park, they could have gotten more. If you can get 15-17 guys out of 19 send the NC in, saying 18/5/5, no PS changes, a little of this, a little of that, and we'll actually stand behind the TA, and sell you three years of bliss, I think the company would do it. Our problem is that we can't actually work together. You figure that with the 15-16 the 12 have, there would never have been an issue, yet here we are. All of it self-inflicted, none of it making sense.

So, yes, I agree that the company needs to come up more. I assume they're going to convince the mediator they're ready to continue serious negotiations, make serious movement.

Are we?
