Which is why they prefer it be resolved prior to negotiating the AA/U list. APA and AA pilots aren't in any hurry to complete the SLI as most of the orders and projected growth are all on the AA side and fences will almost certainly be put up once an SLI is awarded by the arbitration. Their primary concern at this point is the avoidance of being dragged into the spinning compass of the east/west squabble.
