In fact, given the lopsided nature of the vote, it's tough to make the argument that anyone got thrown under the bus--
Most of the pilot group doesn't even know that it happened to us. It was one of those nice sub definitions of longevity tucked into the JCBA. Apparently it was changed after the two groups came back to the table. We couldn't even vote, so we just got what we were dealt. Bottom line, it beats the street which is probably where I'd be without this merger.
