I don't know...DPA isn't born yet.
I'm not trying to be clever, I just don't know the answer to that question.
Online. DPA member pilots log on with member number and secure ID, then give their opinions on the survey question. Give a date when survey ends. Data available for all members to view 1 second after survey/poll expiration time.

The Negotiations Game
Even when all the negotiators know approximately where the result will be, they have to play the game, lest their constituents grumble that they gave in too easily.

Historically, both sides would open with an absurd "wish list", haggle their way to somewhere in the middle, sign, and claim a victory. Somebody would always ask "Why don't we save time and open closer to the midpoint, since that's where we always end up?" The answer was "Because that would change the location of the 'middle'."

This seems true. Also, their ability to threaten our pension is no longer in their quiver. Hopefully that evens the score.

T,
I can't help but laugh when I hear those TWA rumors. Like any Navy ship/sub with a couple of hundred teenage to twenty something sailors could do anything like that and keep a lid on it for more than two seconds.
Oh wait, maybe it was the Navy CG manned by the Men in Black. You know, the one manned exclusively with agents from the CIA, NIA, etc.

Make hay while the sun shines
That "take it or leave it" posture doesn't work well, even during a crisis, and it certainly shouldn't work now. As far as the strike threat, If the pilots don't think they have it during profitable times, then they don't have it at all.
