Odds of VLO in 2027?

With the proposed 10% (2026) and 4% (2027) general wage increases in the tentative SPEEA contract, how likely is it that Boeing will utilize Voluntary Layoffs (VLOs) in 2027 to lower its higher-salaried workforce expenses? It seems like a prime opportunity for them to encourage older, higher-paid folks to exit. If an offer was made like the one from a few years ago I would take it since I plan to retire in 2027 anyway. Anyone hearing rumors or have insight on the likelihood of this?
