The only way that plays out is with the company minimizing expenditures and jobs; the corollary would be the optimizer we've all gotten to know and love. Any actual benefit of an across-the-board and/or permanent ALV reduction (more jobs, better long-term QOL) would be completely negated under that model.
Permanent, uniform ALV reduction is not on the table. It simply doesn't benefit management in a meaningful way and would hamstring them in the recovery. I'd vote for it if it were offered...but it won't be.
