We’ll see. Many on the MEC understand the value, but I admit that I’m initially skeptical of the “quick fix” approach that will leave many needed contractual improvements untouched.

Once that leverage is gone, it’s gone. I think we’re kidding ourselves if we think management is going to come to the table to offer comprehensive contractual improvements within a few years of a “quick fix” trade being signed.
