Negotiations are permitted to open 6 months prior to *amendable* date. Amendable date = Jan. 1st, 2013
Open for Negotiation = July 1st, 2012
*Keep in mind amendable, and expiration date have two separate meanings. Under the RLA, we have the possibility to be in negotiations much past the "amendable" date, due to their not being a provision for our contract expiring.
Fly safe,
