I always vote no on everything. This time I'm voting yes because this is the best deal we can get and a no vote will keep us at this low pay for a very long time.
But ya kno wat I am seeng from dis post....lets hurry up and vote this
contract in so dat we can start the clock for a next
contract to get something better on dat
contract....wait wait wait, why not get something better now while the market is good for it? Aint now di best time? Wat gaurantee do you guys/gals have to say ull have the same leverage you have now?
At the same time wat guarantee do you have that it will be 1 or 2 years b4 TA2 comes out?, wat if it TA2 comes 4 months after voting down TA1?(this where ill get laughed at cuz y'all will say obviously I dont know spirit, but wat IF? a
Am I speculating now?) A lot of speculations drive uninformed decisions. I understand Greeny point though, makes sense looking at it that way, cuz u can sit on something thats ok (scope, ltd, etc) while being more patience through the next neg. But ya cant look at it
only dat way.
And its not only Greeny that has this 1 to 2 year expectation for TA2 thats driving his/her decision to vote YES on a highlight.
Okie im talking too much again.
