I have yet to hear of any compromise (rumored, speculated, guessed, or opined) on the NW side, have you heard of any? --not trying to stir anything up here, just wondering if there are any rumors, etc. on your side.
I'm hearing a move toward ALOS (Adjusted Length Of Service). Our strike time would count against us at the top, and furlough time would count against guys at the middle and bottom. ALOS treats the bottom a lot more fairly because no single group occupies the bottom. Dates of hire in the bottom third will still be skewed toward a DAL advantage, but not quite as bad as the current DAL proposal.
Interesting rumor...
