Not from what I've seen. Both old and new reps have been very negative about the possibility of getting the kinds of increases that would be required to even make significant progress towards restoration. As one example, just look at all the criticism of APA asking for a partial restoration.

From what I've seen, I really don't think this is the case. I suspect it's a matter of not wanting to just come out and say straight up that they don't think restoration is possible. Everything I have seen from the past and current reps has been extremely negative about the possibility of getting the kinds of increases it would take for true restoration. They say it's "unreasonable." I don't think that has anything to do with keeping your strategy secret. I think it has a lot to do with objectives that are not really in line with what this pilot group wants. That may be the only secret that's being kept.
