and math skills in the industry; (2) the creation of a culture of 
dignity and respect in workplace; and (3) the effect of NextGen on 
various workforces. This teleconference meeting is solely for 
discussion with Joshua Mr. M. Javits, a professional arbitrator and 
mediator, who has mediated a number of air carrier labor-management 
disputes. He is a former chairman and member of the National Mediation
