How did the Polar MEC put it once, "It's just collateral damage."
I'm sure the FE's appreciate that.
I don't think Mr. Cato was required to offer anything. That being said, I'm not stupid enough to think that he was being magnanimous with the offer. At the same time, I think that the Polar MEC did a good job of helping the FE's out the door without realistically examining the options with the last minute theatrics at the expense of the FE's.
We at Atlas have had a few of these similar situations during the past "whip-sawing" events. Some offers we could negotiate with to some resolution and some we couldn't. We didn't wait to the last minute to work it out and knew what we had and what we didn't have to negotiate with.
