Don't forget Bethune "coincidentally" greatly increased his retirement compensation package and gained a large chunk of stock and then left right before we were forced to take concessions to OUR contract. But I'm sure this was just a coincidence right???

Gordon Bethune was given a golden parachute to leave early. He stood up at a board meeting and agreed to leave if Bonderman left. I don't think Bonderman ever thought he would do it. I wish Gordon was still here but he did a huge favor to all of us by getting rid of Bonderman and his cronies. At the time there was a huge rift between Gordon and the portion of the Board supporting Bondeman.

Because they are both members of the most elite fraternity in the world; Boardroom CEO's.
