The NMB is not run by idiots. (Mr. Daniel Rainey, Chief of Staff, National Mediation Board, agreed with the issuance of the list of arbitrators in April, and assembled the parties to his office on 23 July to suggest private mediation).

The current parties to the NMB-suggested mediation are the same parties that received the NMB-issued list of arbitrators for MB arbitration.... and it is these same parties that will participate in MB arbitration, willingly or by court order.
