I generally pay no heed to rumors but this one, from mulitple sources, was intriguing. It has been floated around the base of a 3-3-1 package and a new B scale for future mechanics. It sounds economically feasible for the company to dump high paying jobs to be replaced with jobs at, say, half the rate? I also wouldn't put it past the compAAny union to agree to sacrifice the high paying jobs in order to avoid bankruptcy again and "preserve" jobs. As I recall, there was a similar agreement forged in 95' (championed by the TWU) with an early out and concession deals.
