I say the company really wants nothing. They want to stall until Obamacare gets sorted out. Maybe big labor will get exempted (like congress) from the law they wanted. The company has already decided how big a slice of the pie they are willing to give us. They have to wait to find out how much of that slice is eaten up by health care expense. It could be in our interests to wait also. Meanwhile they throw out some bait to figure out how much it will cost them to reduce pilot requirements by 10%.
This theory also explains our last 2 year extension, cost the company nothing and gained them a lot of time.

by your logic they would still be in delay mode (which I agree is the case) and we would be on the "retro pay" stickers by now. Instead we have very little retro pay to worry about at this point and the new pay rates will be based on a 6% higher base rather than being tacked onto the OLD rates with retro/bonus. Healthcare will be a big sticking point but we are a small fraction of the FDX healthcare dollar so they can impose on the rest and leave us under the status quo without much concern in the new CBA.
