Responsible businesses with deadbeat customers prudently stop dealing with them.  Alaska agreed to make payments but has weaseled out on them.  So Caelus has wisely decided to cool it until they see promises being kept.  It could be a long, jobless, wait and the pipeline (petroleum as opposed to the gas pipedream) gets a little closer to having to shut down due to low-flow.  But I guess that would please some folks.
