But, I think you're seeing some of the buyer's remorse on here from time to time.
All we can do is hope for something better going forward in 2012.
Agreed. And the flip side of this is that a lot of us assumed your contract was a lot worse, and so we also failed to read it very closely. Of course, it would have taken some rather extraordinary "coming together" on the SLI, in order to focus more narrowly on the small-caps and cherry-pick this mo-fo.
For the UAL/CAL guys, there is a lesson in this somewhere. You can't just simply pick the "better" contract.
