Section 6 can be opened at any time.

Clamp, this thought process of accepting such a low expectation HAS to change. What the Delta pilots did to scuttle the attempt by USAir to purchase Delta was beyond huge. What all pilots did to facilitate our merger and make it the smoothest airline merger in history was beyond huge. It is NOT asking too much to begin Section 6 now with the goal of an industry leading contract by 2012.
This pilot group has shown no limits to cooperation with management. It's time management shows a similar level of cooperation. But management won't know what to cooperate about if we all share your low expectations. Let's make the request, and make it now.
