Status This Week
The NMB weekly activity report for September 21–25 lists a new Horizon Airlines / AFA flight-attendant mediation docket and separately lists the Horizon AFA flight-attendant case as reassigned from C. Parker to M. Donatelli.
The Horizon AFA public site also continues to show mediation-related news, including a Contract Mediation Update for the August session and a posted mediation schedule through year-end.
Process Signals
- Horizon is the strongest NMB-process signal in the eight-carrier set for this week.
- A new docket listing and mediator reassignment are process events, not tentative agreements, ratifications, or releases.
- The file should remain framed as active mediation with a newly visible NMB procedural marker.
CrewSignal Assessment
Horizon moves from routine continuity to a higher-signal mediation file this week. CrewSignal should highlight the NMB docket/reassignment while avoiding any claim that the parties reached a substantive agreement.
