Wonder if they realized it was a complete over-reach and not "superior".
Highly doubtful. Their proposal (the LAA committee and not APA) was based on fundementals and if anything IF only one competing model (which includes the Nic) is presented in opposition, that impacts their fundementals differently. I can only wonder if aside from a different feathering methodolgy model is selected (whether further refined or modified) that fences aren't more prevelent. From what I heard, the APA had perhaps 6-10 "models" based on various counter-positions by the other two parties. If only a Nic based competing model is now in play for the arbitrators to consider, it may require a different competing model to ensure the interests of LAA pilots are represented properly.
