Any sense of Orsini's personal feelings about SMU?
My gut tells me Orsini's in this for the long haul.
It's kind of like that Mad Men episode where the agency drops its small airline client for a shot to go after American Airlines' business (right after one of their planes crash).
When Don goes to tell the Mohawk Airlines exec they're dropping him, the guy reminds Draper that he told him the agency didn't need a big airline because they were going to make Mohawk a big airline. That's Orsini's attitude. He's going to make SMU big (already has in many ways).
June is the agency's sales guy who pushes for the chance to pitch to American Airlines and doesn't get the deal done.
