Not necessarily. I don't think APA can or will agree to a process arbitration supposedly doesn't allow, that being separate non-union groups argue directly to the "neutral" arbitrators. Instead, allowing separate groups to include information for APA to present to the neutral arbitration. This would be after negotiation fail or possibly not even occur if East pilots don't agree to reengagement in the SLI process and of course after their frivolous and obstructionist strategies run their course.
