Status This Week
No new dated October 24–30 announcement reported an agreement or a disposition of CWA-AFA’s request for an NMB status conference. The October 11 recap of the October 5–6 mediated session remains the latest confirmed bargaining account.
Process Signals
- CWA-AFA’s October 16 report described October 14 picketing at six airports. An October 30 Council 39 update added a Portland account of that earlier solidarity action; it did not announce new contract terms.
- The October 11 bargaining update expressly said that requesting a status conference did not mean the NMB had declared an impasse. A conference request is not a release from mediation or the start of a cooling-off period.
- The latest public bargaining account continues to identify economic terms as unresolved.
CrewSignal Assessment
The public campaign remains active, but the verified record does not show a new bargaining settlement or procedural change during this reporting week. An agreement, a scheduled status conference or a formal NMB action would be a separate milestone.
