I know I'm a pessimist, but I expect to see a lowest-common denominator across the board in this merger, everything to lower the company's cost in the shortest possible time frame...

And that could likely include eliminating programs like GS entirely, and replacing it with the more streamlined CO model of elite tiers...
I tend to agree with you. I hope for the best, but expect the worst.
