If it fails and no contract for a while I will say you were right. If it fails and we get a new TA right away (under 2 years) you would have to admit we had some hidden leverage.
i agree with all, that is why I am voting yes. Too many "what ifs" in the face of real gains. Your summary is a very accurate and simple portrayal of the decision. I would rather find out the answer to the million dollar question with a few more pennies in my pocket and not have to risk, even this paltry amount of gains, on the leverage will have or don't have.
How about we take this money and gains and act like a crewforce that wants a real contract? That is my wish.
Speaking to the choir to most people on this board, you guys know what it takes to bring leverage to bear its the other ones we worry about.
