Dunno. The first time the emails mentioned meetings without the mediator, they said that they were to clean up language in other sections. My friend who was an ALPA negotiator at his last airline said that this is a very positive sign that they are close to a deal, and they want to get the language as close as possible so once the money sections are complete the rest of the language is ready to go.
It's like reading tea leaves. lol
