Status This Week
No independent third-party bargaining stage-change was located during the 2026.05.09–2026.05.15 reporting window.
Process Signals
- The NMB 05-15-2026 weekly report lists one new Mediation/ADR docket for Air Care / OPEIU pilots and lists Mediation Cases Reassigned, Ratifications/Closed Cases, and Training and Facilitation as None. It does not add a new Avelo flight attendant docket, reassignment, ratification, or closed-case signal.
- Avelo remains a low-visibility first-contract mediation file.
- No independent report surfaced this week showing a tentative agreement, ratification calendar, release from mediation, or other later-stage Railway Labor Act development.
CrewSignal Assessment
The safest frame remains unchanged: active but thinly documented first-contract mediation. Keep the report conservative until a stronger public procedural source or independent bargaining report appears.
