[QUOTE="BrownBusDriver, post: 72962, member: 4563"] Jan will be the start of 4 years of negotiating. We by the contract started a year before the amendable date under a new for of negotations called "Interest Based Bargaining". It was a bit of an experiment, and in my opinion, a waste of time and money. We have negotiated two years since the amendable date. We actually started negotiating before Sept. 11 to amend the contract. The attacks halted that effort. The company then tried to furlough 100 pilots, at a time where we were still working full schedules. We decided not to work days off, and the company decided not to furlough. It was not long after that that the company decided to hire, an action that we were trying to get to happen for over 2 years. They, by design, keep the airline at a very narrow margin of manning. Asia expansion has caused not only hiring, but new aircraft purchases. I think the future is bright, and the only thing holding the airline back is the lack of ability to settle this contract.
