This is all true but in any case they have to realize they run an abnormally high risk of the company failing from unscrupulous management. Now if this happened where say, SKW just up'ed and folded because the CEO stole millions, that would be worth pitying the employees. But MESA's failings could be seen from space for over a decade.
