• What has been your experience with current appeal processes for AA denials or revocations or FFD determinations?
• For licensees that do not include AA and FFD determinations within the scope of arbitration under their collective bargaining agreements, what alternative approaches have been used that balance employee rights with the responsibility of licensees to ensure trustworthiness and reliability?
• Would a review panel vice a single-person review of access revocations and/or denials be beneficial to both parties in the appeal process?
• If a review panel is used in access denials and/or revocations, should panel members be required to meet specific qualifications to participate on the panel?
