Not that I'm aware of. However, and I know this is against the grain, professional negotiators want to come to a settlement and they will have to be backed up by pilots with contract administration knowledge. They don't know what is, or is not, important. They negotiate to a settlement.
This isn't baseball.
I'm not opposed to professional negotiators. I just don't know if they are a cure-all. I'm certainly willing to back the MEC if they want to try that route.
