As reported earlier, the flight attendants represented by AFA have left the bargaining table.  Mesaba management has not moved of off 19.4% or 6 years in their term sheet to AFA either.

ALPA will be back in mediated discussions with management at 1100 on Tuesday, May 9. 

 

The parties will make a status report to Judge Kischel at 0800 on Thursday, May 11.  At this time, Judge Kischel can rule on the motion or extend the deadline again if all parties agree to the extension.  

 

On Thursday May 11, 2006 at 7:00p.m. CT, the Mesaba Labor Coalition and the SPC will host an all Mesaba Labor Coalition Phone Conference.  This phone conference will only take place if the 1113(c) decision is rendered by the bankruptcy court. Given that is the next deadline, we feel it is important for all labor groups to hear from the coalition leaders as well as the respective lawyers on the next phase in this process if a decision is issued. The dial in & participant numbers will be provide later.
