It’s all kind of a gamble isn’t it? You’re really just playing the odds and hoping it’d go in your favor. Only time will tell.

People used to joke about “contract 2020.” Thats only about 2 years away now. That time will be gone in a flash. It’ll be 2 years away from 2022 in no time.

I mean even in your example, what’s worse?

1. Sign the sizable raise back in December of 2015, and get stuck with that “POS” until 2025 to presumably get a industry standard/leading contract then.

2. Stuck with the current even worse POS from 2015 to 2022, in which time presumably you’ll get a legacy standard contract by getting an 80% raise on DOS.

One can argue that shooting for the moon is short sighted and incremental climb to industry parity is actually playing the long game.

It’ll be real interesting to see how this shakes out.
