Yes, this confuses me too. Again, the reality is that at merger snapshot date, like it or not, three separate groups existed. I can understand neutrality being required of the pre-merger unions and thus the surviving union and even buy the requirement for USAPA to not advocate anything other then the Nic (which may allow them to take no position at all just like APA), but each committee should be free to argue anything it so chooses (even at their own peril) considering the reality is that pre-merger there were three separate pilot groups with three distinct interests, separate equities and positions on the various aspects of SLI.
