Olddawg et al,
I would think that most of those deferrals are just keeping their options available, but have found gainful employment elsewhere in the industry. I realize that a new contract with a 30% increase may make them change their minds

, but any guess on % of deferrals which would come back within the three years? Just asking for a educated guess here, I realize how things in this industry can change dramatically.
