I thought it was amusing that new hires were hoping they were old enough to get the 175s in class. I guess the >$20,000 question is what incentives will the union authorize management to spend on bonuses? What's the word on this restricted displacement/proffered displacement language that is being negotiated. I hope 145 guys weren't hoping to displace to the 175.
