Are the mediators at different airlines allowed to have discussions with each other? In other words, are they operating in isolation and only concerned with the airline that they are assigned to or do they talk to each other and stay abreast of what's happening in the entire industry?

I'm asking because this could be huge for us. Seems to me like the NMB even understands that the table positions for the Southwest and Delta pilots are probably woefully out of date and need to be updated.

Our NC and MEC should be demanding the same leeway from our mediators that SWAPA is getting.
