Agreed. Not only do I not discount it, but I expect it. This is one of the discomforts (to me) that comes from the merger, and one of the things I was factoring into SLI discussions. Without re-living that particular nightmare, let's just say a NYC base it's one of the many equities being contributed to the mix. Anyone who has the seniority will no doubt consider it, as well they should.

I only hope they do their homework, and understand both the good and the bad that comes with New York. If I mention the bad, it'll sound like I'm trying to influence, so I won't. But I hope that people who bid into a base that's new to them will have the courtesy to spare everyone else the indignation over such small items as restroom sinks that don't come equipped with faucets, computer screens that cause your eyes to bleed, etc.
