I sure won’t vote for any deal that puts $23m/17,500 in my pocket every month (roughly $1k after tax). I probably make ten times that solving the daily gummster fires management created with their incompetence.
If they don’t reduce the value of 23m/month, and just redistribute it elsewhere, is it not still a win for them operationally even though not financially? Not saying I disagree with you in general though. There needs to be a steep cost to them for us to help them out of their mess.
