Question for anyone in the know......Sailing?
As of March 1st, aren't we already one year away from Contract 2015 opening statements? (e.g. D-ALPA/DAL can exchange opening statements 270 days prior to the amendable date [March 1st, 2014] and the amendable date is Jan. 1st, 2015.)
Has anything been done, or is anything being done to gauge the climate of our pilot group. (i.e. upcoming survey?) Is the company as interested in their "constructive engagement" approach as last time? Can we expect a TA to be passed, and contract signed by next summer, or did the company gain so generously from the fruits of their negotiations last time, that their is no longer any incentive in having a contract in place prior to the amendable date of our current PWA?
Thanks for the informative reply.

This is also a 3 year contract not a 2 year as you posted. The amenable date is 31 Dec 15.

I proposed both.
But three years ago I talked to the ATL88A who was on the merger committee about the GS vs 1.5x pay and he said the cost to the company was a wash. He did not say GS improved staffing. I actually posted on this thread what he said but Lord help me finding it.

Actually found it from March 2010...
From talking to the merger committee folks the end money given to the pilot group between the time and a half pay NWA used to get and the greenslip system was a wash proportionally. However, the greenslip system was spread out whereas the 1.5X system was heavily in favor of senior pilots.
