Mike, you keep telling all of us that we should have come to you to work an extra deal with our RFAs - I think that's part of the point. Many owners did not consider such a trade to be an option, as they thought the ban on trading of RFAs put in place last year would translate to a match/decline trade strategy as well. Its one thing to utilize strategy that noone has ever thought of before, that's creativity... its another thing to utilize strategy people have thought of but just never followed because they didn't think it was allowed.
I'll say it again. Its obvious to see the advantage gained by using match/decline leverage in a trade, and if I know that its available to me you can bet I'm going to use it. I just think that if its allowed, we should make sure that every owner is fully aware that they can go that route - and stop splitting hairs in regards to trading match/decline straight up or including it in a deal.
