So your choice is retire or down bid. So, if they had retired you are saying they could come back since they would have done that to avoid a down bid. I don't think going to the only seat available would ever be considered a down bid.
Don't get me wrong I'm with the guys that think JL took care of himself and his peers. If I/we (most of us) would do the same if we had the power or pull.
JL cost this company millions taking care of the old guys and himself. He let every guy that wanted to stay, stay even when there wasn't a seat for them.
