This is an excellent question.

Early Section 6 is a no cost item for management, because negotiations have to begin at some point and everyone on their side is salaried. It is a huge cost item for the compay if they are planning on delaying things til 2015 in order to delay pilot pay increases during a period of high inflation.

How they react to the request is going to be extremely telling.
