The Surrender Seven are clearly advocating for a vote of POSTA2.0 which is a repackaging of POSTA1.0 with a few "deck chairs rearranged". The big variable to them is they think the membership is so desperate for any TA they will cave and MEMRAT whatever's brought to them.
I'm fine with having a vote again on a poison pill laced agreement. One last time, and then we get serious. Will the 7 agree to that though, or will they demand another vote on a substandard TA until voter fatigue/apathy nets them something, anything?
Managements goal is 51%. Anything in excess of that is a financial waste to them. Letting them float small incremental changes by as an experiment to better understand the demographics and tweak the offer towards 51% will net a much lower result than sitting out for a 65% in favor vote.
They already bought these big RJ's, the stock had been hammered, holidays approach and they know they will have a hot and I'll tempered pilot group by Summer '17... That won't go well and they know it.
If they roll into Summer 17 still playing games hedge funds are going to want their flesh and a few heads.
50-seaters go unstaffed... Paid for big RJ's hanging out in AZ... New hires going to other options.... Sick leave?
Strategy... Wind the clock and wait. It IS what they fear most. THEY approached us to open early, not out of kindness.
