Well, Feaster is Hartley's son's godfather (or other way around) and they have been close for years so I am sure it was Feaster that sold the owners on Hartley in the first place.

Harltley was Feaster's guy from the start (even before last season he wanted to get Hartley out of Switzerland, isn't that how it went?) No reason for Feaster to be in the room with Conroy, or, when out for dinner with whichever owner it was.

They're a bit of a package deal (I think Feaster also joked that when Hartley goes, it'll be right with him), making any decision on Feaster, now, or in the future, with that in consideration.

I too have had second "interviews" with my bosses' boss, just more as a formality so that they can meet you, make sure you didn't pull a fast one on your boss in the first interview, and as sign off on you to your boss so he can cover his a$$ if you turn out to be a dud.
