Status This Week
Frontier had visible bargaining movement during the 2026.04.18–2026.04.24 reporting window, though the clearest same-week signals were member-facing rather than independent press.
Process Signals
- Frontier remains appropriately grouped with the mediated CWA-AFA carriers.
- Frontier’s 2025 10-K says AFA-CWA filed for mediation through the National Mediation Board in October 2024 and that the parties have been meeting monthly since February 2025.
- The current status chart shows company and union responses dated April 14–16 across Hours of Service, Scheduling, Reserve, and Benefits, which supports treating the week as active bargaining inside mediation rather than a new stage-change week.
CrewSignal Assessment
Frontier remains a live mediation file, but the week ending 2026.04.24 is best read as an active bargaining week inside an already-established mediation posture rather than a fresh procedural breakthrough.
