Dear Sisters and Brothers:
After communicating with National Mediation Board (NMB) Mediators Jack Stephan and Mike Tosi, and the Company, dates for the first meeting under the auspices of the NMB have been set for March 14 and 15, 2023. The meetings will take place at the Local Lodge 1725 building in Charlotte, NC. The delay in scheduling the first meeting was due to the mediator’s availability in concert with the Company and Union availability also.
Preceding this meeting, a conference call was conducted with the mediators and leadership from the IAM Air Transport Territory and District Lodge 142 to discuss our respective position(s) and brief the mediators on your expectations moving forward in mediation. At the conclusion of the March meetings, a subsequent bulletin will be released detailing for you any developments from the meetings.
If you have any questions about the contents of this bulletin, please reach out to your negotiating committee member or your General Chairperson, James M. Samuel, at or (859) 653-4037, for additional help or information. Thank you for your patience and commitment. With best wishes we remain
Sincerely and fraternally,
John M. Coveny, Jr.
President/Directing General Chair
James M. Samuel
General Chair
