Your worst case scenario is not a likely outcome unless something catastrophic were to cause our economy and consequently our industry to collapse.
And what exactly do you think they are delaying for, DAVE? Economic cycle lengths average around 6 years. The last recovery began in, what, 2009? Every passing day favors management. They are still suing us for how to proceed with the merger. Management is determined to win, and when management is determined to win I put my money on management.
