Speculating that far in the future is a gamble. The economy could enter another recession tomorrow and all of the sudden we have furloughs again by the end of the year. Or Compass and XJT could crap out tomorrow and Daddy D sends those birds our way.

My point is until the pen hits the paper we are at the mercy of Ed's whims. Frankly I just want to get these negotiations over with so we can vote on the new package and move on from there. That is the current stumbling block.
