Anything is possible, but it's one thing for neutral arbitrators to craft a list using their own knowledge of the situation even if the East pilots aren't directly represented (by their reps own choice), but for the other two committees to unilaterally do it without them would seem to be far more dangerous ground. Not sure APA would go for that, instead seeking shelter from the arbitrators which sounds exactly like what they are doing.
