No idea how long that would have been, but I can't imagine it would have been more than a year, depending on the age of the pilots who wind up taking the early out (assuming the MEC ratifies the LOA).
tem-po-ra-ry. Yup.. And I have no problem with being a little more junior for a tem-po-ra-ry amount of time. I have waited this long, a few more months won't make any difference. This is all about precedent in my mind. You are catering to a select group, and the other 11999 of us don't benefit in any meaningful way. This sucks eggs.
