I understand the original mediator is out and the new one in. Not sure if the new guy is a good or indifferent development.
It's been widely stated that the mediator will need to be brought "up to speed" before any progress is made and many suggest this could take weeks, possibly months but I guess the real question is in what time frame will real progress likely take place. Mid summer, next fall or is it just a guessing game?
After all, the AMR folks have been in mediation a darn long time...
2 good things with the new mediator are
1) He has worked with UA pilots before on contract and was a pilot very little bringing up to speed
2) He is the guy that unexpectedly told Alaska management he was recommending releasing the pilots in a short time causing them to get a contract
