while I can see this argument, it’s already an item in the contract. We have it. The idea we would have to give something up to keep it seems overly defeatist.
costs on items change. It is delta’s responsibility to pay for LTD until mandatory retirement age. If that age goes up by 2 years, they still have to pay that LTD cost.
