We have been preparing for expedited negotiations. We continue to meet with NWA management and believe we can reach a negotiated settlement, but only if management doesn't overreach in negotiations.
Progress has been made in some areas, but there is still a lot of work to do in a short amount of time. Our goal is to reach an agreement, but that will depend on management's actions at the negotiating table.
If we are to reach an agreement, management has to stop overreaching.
Hopefully, the extra time will allow us to reach a consensual agreement. There is a lot to be accomplished in a short amount of time.
All issues remaining have been discussed before. There is a chance we could reach a tentative agreement, but the final pieces of the puzzle need to be put in place.
