Re: Airbus Arbitration
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Today we were scheduled to meet for the second day of arbitration regarding Airbus aircraft being sent to South America for heavy checks. The Arbitrator in this matter has suggested the parties should attempt to reach a settlement. As a result, the parties began discussions and today’s hearing has been postponed. The Arbitrator retains jurisdiction over the matter. This means if the parties are not able to settle, she will have day two rescheduled. As soon as there is an outcome, settlement or not, I’ll let you know.
In solidarity,
