IMHO, I feel they will put put something in the JCBA about longevity, but as a bargaining chip, something to give away. It will go something like "We'll give you DAL +$1, but you need to get rid of longevity for pay, or we can't afford it" and the 10,000 above us will say, "well, that does't affect me, get rid of it" (just an example, I have no knowledge of anything in the TA) So I feel, it may be out there, but it will never make it to the final draft.

I not tying to be negative, I'd give up my 67 Beetle to get longevity, but I'm a realist, and I just don't see it happening. I really hope I'm wrong.
