Yes, agreed but for those with LTP, as it was under SPG, there is ZERO incentive to continue to stay; the status is diminished, there is no aspirational level to seek, the door has slammed on LTPPE.
Not to be vulgar but maybe it's the time to be a 'whore' in respect of the best deal rather than put trust in the nincompoops who have foisted this new structure on us.
Anyone who believes they have SPG LTPs locked in should realise that most of us maintain status in a number of programs...and in any case , it's a simple status match to jump ship.
