It would probably not be a much different track than the chapter 11 process. That does not happen over night. Even if it required more time I suspect management would much prefer that option to chapter 11. In chapter 11 they no longer control the process or the airline. They to a certain extent are along for the ride. Requesting a release to self help is vastly cleaner, easier and lower cost if your intent is simply to void the contract as the original poster stated.
i would expect mediation to resume in the fall.
