I'll take the over on that. My guess if we say No - There will be a status conference call scheduled, after notifying the NMB, between the parties and the mediator in late March to early April time frame. That conference call would include establishing an opportunity to get back on the NMB's schedule for mediated sessions. Our first mediated bargaining session won't be scheduled until after the summer is my guess. I also think those first sessions will be more akin to what we had almost a year ago, ie we will meet for three day this week and then the next session will be at least 2 weeks down the road. Lather, rinse, repeat until the mediator thinks we are actually getting close to a deal. Then they get sequestered with the deal makers present somewhere other than ATL again. Assuming we have absolutely zero recall/resignation and replacement BS to deal with and the MEC is johnny on the spot getting new and current polling data, it'll be 12 months. Any recall/resignation and replacement actions on our part and you can add another 3 months to that in my opinion. The company could always agree to meet with us and negotiate without the mediator present, but I do not think they will after we say No. All purely my opinion, which makes it nearly worthless.
