Cacti,
It's a common misconception but this is incorrect.
What the July 1 date signifies is the beginning of calculating the appropriate ASMs, in order to start the PROCESS of calculating pay, into motion. Not the actual pay rates.
So Delta has until 1/1/16 to come up with their new contract.
This has been verified by a union officer for me.
I, too, thought July 1 was the drop dead date. It's not.
