JPC: “Cautiously Optimistic” – updated
Writing on the JPC blog for the first time since March 19th, JPC chief negotiator Doug Wood seeks to sound a reassuring note:
Negotiations Update
As you are all aware, we’re approaching the “midnight hour” in our negotiations. While both sides have made major progress and I remain cautiously optimistic, the next couple of days will be critical to reaching a new agreement. In the meantime, there is no reason to believe that there will be any immediate disruption in commercial production even if we don’t come to a final agreement before midnight, March 31. Both sides continue to have open and productive negotiations.

Update: Here’s Variety’s story (adding little).
If we had to bet, we’d say we’re headed for overtime.
