I have to shake my head when I see the intentions of a legacy to buy anything when their debt to asset ratio is over 4 to 1. Their ability to borrow money to cosumate the deal alone would be prohibitive. Then again if it doesn't work out I guess there is always bankruptcy to bail you out.

I feel for the employees of legacies who have lost their pensions and now have management trying to leverage what future they still have.
