We were advised by the arbitration panel today that they will not be completed with the Integrated Seniority List (ISL) this week and are instead anticipating their award on Tuesday, Sept. 3. This was not unanticipated, as the original timeline, and the current one, are only estimates. Plans for a special meeting of the CAL MEC remain in place, and the date will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate the issuance of the award.

As for today’s hearing regarding a group of L-UAL pilots’ request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the release of the ISL that was filed in U.S. District Court, the judge stated that the request did not meet any of the criteria for granting relief and the request for a TRO was denied in its entirety. Thus, the issuance of the award and list will not be delayed as a result of the request.
