Definitely a valid point, but first of all not all will take a dump in the hot tub as they are getting out, and second those who will try (and some will try) will be vastly outnumbered for the life of the contract anyway.

If we sell even more of our future down the river for a cookie, it will be because plenty of us collectively in the middle and bottom went along with it.

UCAL is as or more top heavy in that demographic than we are and they are (so far) pushing hard for scope reversals (RJ's and JV's). SWA has its share of that demographic too and they turned down money for better scope.

There is hope. But if we shart the bed going after some bling like the ghost of contracts past, it will be because the middle and bottom went along with it.
