It should escape no one's notice...
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.
NMB is a joke. Bought and paid for lackeys. They run roadblock to using the RLA the way it was intended, to protect labor rights while preserving services. It's all been lost except the preserving services at all cost.
