In this episode of the MXY Podcast, MEC Chair Alex Kluge and Negotiations Committee Chair Chris Howard sit down with Andrew Shostack from ALPA Legal to break down what it means that we've filed for mediation. We cover where negotiations stand today, what mediation actually looks like under the Railway Labor Act, common misconceptions pilots have about the process, and what to watch for as signs of progress. We close with what pilots can do right now to support the group and where to send questions. Tune in for a clear, no-spin explainer on this next phase of negotiations.
