RedRum, chill, It is not throwing up the white flag by saying I expect a minor seniority hit, that is my opinion. You do not know me and/or know what I did to get here, so until you have walked a mile in my shoes............... I do not think it is unreasonable to hope for a compromise and a negotiated solution, I have mentally prepared for a senority hit and this is exactly what DALPA has preposed, so anything better is a bonus, that doesn't mean I have to like it, I just have to live with it.
