What he WON'T reference are his previous carriers where he turned down a substantial gain in pay, (possibly) IS scope and LTD and and received or aquire additional gains.
He thinks risking this one is tantamount to risking what was probably a 10-15% gain with really nothing else. He has stated he is willing to "wager" it all and bets we'll have some sort of a coup by waiting an additional 6-12 months.
Honestly he reminds me of the guy who sold it all, went to Vegas and bet it all on black. Of course that guy won and apparently, I can only guess, we should approach this TA with same kind reckless abandon??

I’ve been waiting for his response as well. He’s proclaimed it has happened twice in his career, but has provided no numbers or airlines he was employed where said actions happened. I’m glad I’m not the only one waiting on his FACTS.
