Speaking of which... from today's CAL MEC Briefing:

Last today, as an update to the seniority list integration process, arbitration is scheduled to start on April 15 in Washington, D.C. Last week, the two merger committees worked with a mediator to try and find common ground and resolve issues. Our Merger Committee was prepared to complete the mediation process prior to arbitration, but learned yesterday that the UAL Merger Committee is not willing to continue mediation. While we were hopeful that mediation might produce some tangible results, the process continues on the same timeline. Withdrawal by the UAL Merger Committee will not slow the process down and we will, absent any serious curve balls, be ready to start the arbitration as scheduled in April.
