Our Merger Committee was prepared to complete the mediation process prior to arbitration, but learned yesterday that the UAL Merger Committee is not willing to continue mediation. While we were hopeful that mediation might produce some tangible results, the process continues on the same timeline. Withdrawal by the UAL Merger Committee will not slow the process down and we will, absent any serious curve balls, be ready to start the arbitration as scheduled in April.

This always going to arbitration. It's simple politics, the arbitrators will make the final decision and that way neither side has to take credit for it. Because everybody is going to be happy except for the number one guy and the last guy on the list who just got his first major airline gig. Nobody wants that on their shoulders..
Going to arbitration as early as possible is a good thing. The rest of this stuff was just play time to make the process look legitimate. Now we are down to the brass tacks.
