Status This Week
No new dated October 17–23 announcement resolving the status-conference request or reporting an agreement was confirmed in the public sources reviewed. CWA-AFA’s October 11 recap of the October 5–6 mediated session remains the latest confirmed bargaining account.
Process Signals
- That recap described disagreement over economic proposals and CWA-AFA’s request for an NMB status conference. The union expressly said its request did not mean the Board had declared an impasse.
- The October 16 report of October 14 picketing at six airports is earlier context. Neither picketing nor a conference request establishes a release from mediation or the start of a cooling-off period.
CrewSignal Assessment
Horizon’s dispute remains centered on unresolved economic terms and the requested additional NMB involvement. The published proposals are not an agreed compensation package, and any change in the formal process requires a separate procedural determination.
