That is pretty dramatic. AS isn't going anywhere, regardless of the changes it makes to MP. You're grossly overestimating the impact you and others like you have on the company's financials. They will eventually get there, but it'll be a gradual process instead of an abrupt one, continuing in the direction they've going for a few years now. Bit by bit they will slowly erode benefits but I wouldn't be surprised if they're able to do it slow enough that many frogs will still be in the pot.
