1) The APA BOD, weary from this nonsense, will announce they simple can't stand the pretense of "negotiations" any longer. They'll tell the knuckleheads, namely Parker, Kirby, and Glass, we're through with their lies and delays and we'll see them across from the arbiters' table.
2) The APA BOD will (finally) get aggressive and announce to the world (via newspaper ads and press releases) that the shine is officially off the turd and what you have here is the same ole AA with a pinch of legacy US' strained labor relations to boot. The theme of "September to Remember" will be back. In other words, the shiznit is about to get real!
3) Eaglefly will be on here telling us he predicted arbitration all along...a distortion which would make even Parker proud!
These things will happen before the rooster crows three times Saturday morning.
I wouldn't go into the investment advice business if I was you.
The first two claims are an easy tree to stand under at this point based on the latest blasts and teleconferences, so insinuating you planted that tree simply makes you guilty of your 3rd accusation, which is simply wrong. Regarding that, my position was that a deal would ultimately be reached and you know what........*drum roll*......... I STILL stand behind that.
That deal may not happen prior to management pulling the arbitration trigger, but sometime during the process right up until a ruling. It simply may require a more intense level of brinksmanship to get Parker and Glass to come closer to the light. I see no point in continuing to taxi around in beta mode anymore king and banking is DEFINATELY not your forte. Your deposit recommendations will be rejected by the teller.
