I dont, I believe the stepdad wants Everyone to stay and live under his roof, but under his way of doing things and he too must be an adult and must realzie that is not going to happen

OT an old partner who stayed with the biz after I moved on raised the prices 2x. He told me he figured at worst hed lose 1/2 the Biz and that meant hed still make what he did with alot less work. Any retention above the 50% mark was that much sweeter. End result was he kept 70% and made more $$ then if he left things as they were

Point is if Jeff thought all of UAs people would leave I doubt he wouldnt have pursued the combo, he must have had a # in his head of people that will walk away knowing you cant satisfy everyone. The unknown is what the % will be in the end. If things keep going as they have been he might have to change his question to not only how many will we keep from UA but how many will we lose from the old CO, as customers from both programs look for a greener pasture
