That's the hope.
But SLI arb can't begin until JCBA is done. JCBA was supposed to go to arb shortly after NMB certification if there was no agreement. The JCBA deadline I believe has already been voluntarily waived by company and apa.
Before that the NMB certification for single carrier and bargaining rep took a bit longer than initially expected, and USAPA was working to slow parts of that down.
So you can get a feel for how the delays may creep up.
That said, Airways was caught up with this issue before with USAPA and getting to JCBA, so there is a LOT more in the MOU to force things along. Ultimately, nothing has to go through negotiation and no agreement has to be reached, everything can be arbitrated. That let's them force timeline.
