It's premature to say no, because we haven't seen any specifics of any proposals. What has to take place now is more examination of their current financial situation. The situation is changing on an almost daily basis.

I think both sides were anxious that progress that was already achieved not be risked by this (overtime issue) going further than it's already gone.

Up until this point there has always been an exit that allowed the talks to go on, the prospect of additional time. With that removed, this will be a different week of negotiations, one that hopefully will produce an agreement.

The numbers (of mechanics working forced overtime) were small but the concerns were large it could increase. This was a major issue for members and these talks aren't held in a vacuum.

The fact that they're here and we're here to talk with the mediators shouldn't be just a formality.

The company's goals are just that -- goals. No professional is going to risk lives and his career to meet goals arbitrarily set by the company.

It's a good sign they're going back into negotiations, ... That's where they're going to reach an agreement, not in the courtroom.

We're not opposing it but we're not supporting it, ... Even with the company's (no-layoff) assurance, our members are very anxious to see assurances in writing.
