You can be credited longevity if you have less than 4 1/2 years actual, but only up to 4 1/2 years. If you have more than 4 1/2 years actual longevity (say you have 6), then it looks like we will not get any credit. Nowhere do I see that we will be limited in actual pay longevity to 4 1/2 years. You get what you have.

In addition, it appears this credit limit last only until an SLI is in place, when additional longevity credit can be given beyond that given at Date of Signing, "...provided further that the application of such additional credit does not result in any s-United pilot having a pay longevity date that is earlier than the pay longevity date of the next most senior s-Continental pilot."
Thanks for looking in to this. With all we've been subjected to, the thought of our union taking what little longevity we have left was too much to bear.
