NMB Case A-14072 Mediator: Kevin Barry Week ending: 2026.02.13

Status this week

  • The PSA Airlines Flight Attendant dispute remained in formal NMB mediation under a docketed case.
  • No full-contract tentative agreement, release, or cooling-off period was publicly confirmed by CrewSignal as of the week ending 2026.02.13.

Key process signals

  • Docketed mediation: PSA’s mediation case appears on NMB weekly activity reporting as Case A-14072.
  • Mediator assignment: NMB reporting reflects an initial mediator assignment followed by a reassignment (now shown as K. Berry; displayed here as Kevin Barry for consistency with NMB’s mediator roster).
  • Leverage posture: CWA-AFA previously reported a 99.2% strike authorization vote and emphasized pay and work-rule priorities (including pay for time at work such as boarding).

CrewSignal assessment

  • With the dispute remaining inside NMB mediation and without a new public milestone confirmed this week, the most likely near-term path remains continued mediated bargaining sessions and incremental narrowing of open items.
  • CrewSignal assesses member engagement as a meaningful public signal in this dispute (based on prior strike authorization reporting), which can increase urgency—but does not by itself predict timing of a tentative agreement or NMB release.

What CrewSignal is watching

  • Any public confirmation of additional mediated session dates or a shift in cadence (e.g., more frequent sessions).
  • Any NMB proffer of arbitration or release into a 30-day cooling-off period.
  • Any announcement of a full-contract tentative agreement and a ratification/voting timeline.
