F16Dude, granted. But that takes us back to the DOH versus relative position argument. That's been decided. Its old news. You're not gonna get a lot of sympathy from the senior FDAL guys who lost their retirements (or the junior FDAL guys that lost theirs for that matter). It is what it is. None of us are shot in the arse about this deal but its done. If someone has a case, sue. If not, let's all move on as a team.
